Sequencers

Notes: PlayFader mnml has exactly the same functionality as the classic yellow edition.

Featuring a light grey PlayCase and buttons, all the traditional PlayFader button colours are represented on the front panel allowing you to easily find what you're looking for. This allowed for a more toned-down aesthetic that we've fallen in love with!

PlayFader is a 2 channel CV & MIDI portable sequencer.

Each channel of PlayFader features CV and Gate outputs that are controlled by its Fader and Play button. Move the Fader to change the CV level, press the Play button to output a variable-width gate or trigger.

PlayFader also outputs 2 channels of MIDI - select from Notes, Chords, CC's and many more output options. MIDI mirrors the analogue outputs so you can control anything with a MIDI input while also controlling your analogue CV synths, pedals etc.

PlayFader runs either to its own internal clock with full transport controls and tap tempo, or loves making friends with external clocks. Sync can be by CV or MIDI, in or out.

Select from your own fully customisable user scales or smooth voltage ranges of 2, 3, 5 & 8v in addition to live transposition.

Each channel has two recording buffers which you can jump, swap and copy between.

PlayFader also has 7 FUN FX modes... for now.

Based on the TE pocket operator punchFX, there is a dedicated FUN button. The idea is that the FUN modes modulate and influence your recorded pattern contents while using the faders to change relevant parameters for the mode you're in.

All FUN modes will be addressable by the built-in accelerometer in future firmware (coming soon), which should be bonkers amounts of fun.

PlayFader has a protective lid that doubles as a stand and feels great in your hand if you want to hold it and play- this is the PlayCase.

When you're travelling, all the controls are safely protected by the lid, held in place with a handy wristband which supports LGBTQ+ equality around the world.

The lid can then be flipped onto the back of PlayFader when you're ready, giving you some grip and a bit more height, making it perfect to play all day!

PlayFader is a versatile CV, Gate and MIDI sequencer & looper that loves to make friends with modular synths, vintage synths, any synth or sampler with MIDI, guitar pedals, and anything else with CV and expression inputs. It can even be a great controller and sequencer for your DAW & computer-based workflow.

You can also read the official manual and quick reference guides and these are always instantly accessible from the QR code on the back of every PlayFader.
