Make Noise - Rene 2

Rene 2 is a performance sequencer based on the Cartesian coordinate system. Thanks to its three-dimensional layout, complex, non-linear patterns including variations can be generated using a minimum of data. – The predecessor offered X and Y planes only. Another novelty: Rene 2 is a multi-track sequencer. Three channels, each with CV and gate outputs, are available. In addition, there are 64 memory slots for patterns.

Rene 2 features three channels. Each of them comes equipped with a CV and a gate output. Instead of a linear step-by-step concept, this module offers X, Y and Z planes for programming sequences. More detailed, the X and Y axis form a coordinate system for placing notes. Thanks to separate clock, mod and CV inputs, you can freely move around on this “map”. Rene 2 holds up to 64 patterns, here called States. Using the Z axis, it is possible to switch between sequences in real time. Thus, you can flexibly combine 64 melodies and / or rhythms.

The features of Rene 2 at a glance:

• Three channels with CV and gate output
• Cartesian and snake patterns are available simultaneously
• 64 States can be saved
• Z axis for modulating through any combination of the 64 stored States
• 16 potentiometers with multi-color LEDs for setting CV values
• 16 backlit touch sensors for programming gate signals
• Five additional touch sensors for editing purposes
•  A Tempi module can be connected via Select Bus
