NotesThe Synthi Sequencer 256 (formerly the Synthi Moog Sequencer) was released in 1971 as a stand-alone version of what was essentially the same digital sequencer found in the monstrous Synthi 100. Undoubtedly the most advanced sequencer of its time, the Sequencer 256 featured analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters to enable digital processing of the control voltages it uses to control other analog synthesizers. The control voltages can be used with any analog synthesizer—an offset control automatically sets the control voltage to work with the likes of Arp, Moog, Sequential, and any other CV/Gate equipped synthesizers.
