I had a play with uQuence when it first came out but put it in the too hard basket pending further investigation. I wished there was a demo preset. Now, as announced in the recent newsletter, there is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_Ipdh_ ... e=youtu.be for the video; https://bit.ly/37PzGQo for the preset download. Thanks, Nik Jewell!

It has also helped that, subsequent to first trying uQuence, I have extensively used Euclidean Duel, which is, so far as I know, the only other VM module that implements Euclidean rhythms. The two modules provide very different ways of varying the rhythms. For example, in uQuence, I love the trigger probability and random direction features.

uQuence is so bristling with features that the designer has not found room for Start and Stop inputs. As a newcomer to modular synthesis when uQuence was initially released, that was one of the things that stumped me. When I revisited uQuence a few days ago, I figured out a workaround, as shown in the simple demo patch below. For this to work, uQuence's Clock button must be turned ON:

As from version 1.1.1, uQuence can be activated by sending a gate signal to a new clock gate input bellow the Clock button. So workarounds for starting and stopping the sequencer on the lines of what I showed in my previous post are no longer necessary. Thanks, Anders!

So the revised demo patch below shows an example of the simplified activation facility, in this case playing the sequencer when the host's Play Gate is open.

Triggering uQuence patterns with the Benard mini sequencer is fun.
And of course MRB Laboratory providing awesome synth sound.

Thanks guys for your interest ! ^ ^

This is basically the preset i made, but i replaced the mini seq and the MRB semi6mod voice with some VoMo modules.

Thank you for the wonderful preset. Would it be possible for you to post the original preset too as shown in the video. I have all the modules so that won`t be a problem. Next time we`ll meet I buy you a beer :D

Hello Paul,
I’ve also got all the modules in the original version, so I’d be keen to have that too!

Haha ! ^ ^

Ok, great, then !

The reverb and a bit of compression are coming from my DAW, Ableton Live 10.
The delay is this old freeware vst, Bionic Delay, through the VoMo vst loader.
In case (lol) you have Valhalla Room, DLM Sixty Five, and Melda Dyn EQ,
i join the Live set.

Thanks for the kind words !

The zip has the VM preset and the Live set.
