A Magic PulsewaveLunar Orbiter Rotating Disc Sequencer

A Magic Pulsewave Lunar Orbiter

Descending from the stars above to revitalize synth racks in rotational bliss, the Lunar Orbiter from A Magic Pulsewave imbues the innovative sequencing of their Star Song disc sequencer into a Eurorack compatible module. Using interchangeable optical discs mounted to the circular panel element, you can program bespoke sequences of CV and gates by darkening sections of the clear disk with an included marker or tape. The discs are divided into 5 separate tracks, with 2 for independent CV outputs and the remaining 3 for gates.

Let the Lunar Orbiter take your system for a spin, and you'll find its pleasant rotational movement gives way to interesting and unique musical possibilities. Because CV and gate sequences are determined in the messy, gridless interface of physical material, opportunities for going beyond traditional musical structures are readily available. Touch plates allow for starting and stopping the rotation as well as switching direction, and a rotation speed control placed on the rotating arm harnesses heaps of satisfying gizmology to provide performative control. Using the clock-seeking rotation speed input and gate-determined direction input, sequences can be stretched, compressed, and reversed on the fly, even from the sequencer's own output signals.

If you're searching for star-studded sequencing that will leave you over the moon, engage all thrusters and set your cosmic orientation towards The Lunar Orbiter from A Magic Pulsewave.

Lunar Orbiter Features
