Sequencers

Notes: An interesting creative approach to programming and performing with MIDI instruments, the NGEN allows you to generate 16 tracks based on algorithmic and generative principles. Create sequences, then tweak and manipulate in real time.

Supplier's Notes:
NGEN is a unique 16-track MIDI sequencer designed in Sao Paulo / Brazil that lets you combine multiple algorithmic / generative generators and MIDI FXs to sequence multiple hardware or software MIDI instruments.

It offers a completely new way of creating and performing music by abstracting the composition process. Instead of writing sequences from scratch, NGEN lets you quickly generate a new sequence for your drums, basslines, melodies, and chord progressions with a push of a button.

NGEN includes classic Spektro Audio generators (ACDGEN and Polyform), completely new algorithmic generators (Drumgen, Samba, Arper, MARP, Pop, Turing, Shuffler), and practical generators (Input Sequencer, MIDI Player, Thru).

Each generator features an unique algorithm that combines different composition techniques with randomness so each generated sequence is unique.

After generating a sequence, you can tweak it in real time using the parameters available for each of the generators. Take things even further by applying MIDI FXs such as Chord or Glitch to your sequences.

All tracks in NGEN follow the same key and scale so it's easier to get multiple sequences that work well with each other.

Quickly save and restore your creations using patterns and projects stored in the microSD card.

NGEN's design is primarily focused on live performance so it features a 1.3" OLED screen, a minimalistic and easy to read interface, mechanical switches (Gateron Green), shortcuts for accessing different features, per track Program Change selector and auto-variation, extensive MIDI CC implementation, and a Performance mode for controlling up to 4 parameters at the same time.

NGEN also includes a variety of tools to let you explore this world of algorithmic sequencing such as assignable CV outputs, a built-in MIDI monitor, different clock generators, and much more.

Generators

ARPER- Algorithmic arpeggiator with real time controls
ACDGEN- Design to generate basslines and melodies using 8 different algorithms.
DRUMGEN- Generate drum patterns based on 3D probability templates based on different genres.
INPUT SEQ- Record incoming MIDI notes into a step sequencer then adjust transposition, density, and direction in real time.
MARP- Unique and experimental polyrhythmic arpeggiator.
MIDI PLAYER- Playback .mid files stored in the microSD card (1 track, up to 128 events).
POP- Generate chord progressions and control how they're played.
SAMBA- Percussive generator based on a 4-part euclidean sequencer.
SHUFFLER- Sequence and rearrange sliced loops (in a software or hardware sampler).
THRU- Modify sequences coming from other tracks or an external MIDI generator.
TURING- Generative generator based on a lockable 16-bit shift register (inspired by Music Thing's Turing Machine).

Notes: Standalone version of Enjoy's DeFeel module. Inspired by 'fill' effects found on old-school drum machines, the DeFeel is a unique approach to manipulating sequences, designed to 'degenerate the monotony' of rhythmic patterns, creating variations in real time.

Supplier's Notes:
With DeFeel Enjoy Electronics have redesigned and applied the Fill concept to make it usable in the world of modular synthesizers.

This device is designed to break the chain between the sequencer and everything that comes after it, allowing you to intervene at the right time and create unique variations.

A modular device that's not going to generate anything, but is created to degenerate the monotony.

DeFeel isn't about complex button presses or cryptic menus. Here, creativity reigns supreme. Design your rhythmic patterns with an intuitive touch. Simple lines and vectors come to life on the multitouch display, allowing you to experiment and craft unique sequences with remarkable ease.

With DeFeel, Enjoy Electronics offer musicians and performers a powerful and versatile tool to enrich their performances and compositions. With its intuitive programming, sleek design, and innovative translucent panel, DeFeel stands out as a unique device poised to revolutionize the way modular synthesizers are used and perceived.
