Thanks Johan 
Will I have the chance to try your software ?

I almost died looking at those pictures....

WOW, Superpics! I want it was my studio

That was a lot of interresting studio pictures. The first pictures looks to be some preparations for Houston, the keyboards are arranged together just like from Houston (and Lyon)

I didn't know he had also an Axis. I only knew about his AX1 and KX5.

Francis Rimbert has used the AXIS during Houston, Lyon and London I don't remember other times, but Francis has also used an AXIS for his own work, so this could be Rimberts.Jarp2600 wrote:I didn't know he had also an Axis. I only knew about his AX1 and KX5.

Some of the pics are from J L Remilleux's book.
The little Casio has to be the coolest keyboard on there

Hmmmm.... maybe... It will be reaktor and it will generate CV/GATE and midi ofcourcenoyau wrote:Thanks Johan

First I have a few things to sort out:
You can see multiple rows. If we examine one row you'll see (top to bottom)
row number
LED
---
undefined hole
---
12 holes; each for one key (C...B); labeled 1...12
---
2 x unknown hole presumably gate 'high/low??/none' or routing ???
---
4 x unknown hole presumably octave
---
undefined hole triplet?
---
undefined hole dot?
It's those undefined that needs to be resolved first... too bad I can't read the labels propperly... or does anyone have a clue ?

What about to find out which Sequence was there "programmed"?.Ok, that won´t help for the holes, but maybe which function the programmed dots have.LeoDaV wrote:

Damn, thats a lush lot of images of the studio.
Isn't this the image that appeared in the Jarre biogrophy by Remilleux, Im sure I have seen it somewhere before.

Finally I can finish my software version of this super great sequencer.
And for those who think (I have no)reason matrix seuencer is cool or protools or cubase sx or <fill in your sequencer> is cool for sequencing are WRONG! since they sux...
The Matri Sequencer allows you to visually see and change rapidly the wanted sequence. Like my arp sequencer... in the arp case it's a slider as for the matri an ems-pin. I also dislike knob-featured hardware sequencers like the Korg SQ-10 ...
I know it surely has to do with tase... so above is my taste

I have the feeling I'll find out the missing holes as I go along building it.
I already have the feeling the top holes below the LEDs are to define the 'loop'. A sequence needs to have a start (usually 1) and an end... the triggering of multiple sequences is unclear maybe 'start' again or something else that increases the loop points so you can have more sequences 'ready' on the 50 notes max.
As for the triplet and dot (double) with those two combined you can make any lenght you want... so that would be logical for a sequencer.
I think the 2 rows used for some sort of 'high' and 'low' setting is presumably trigger routing one for the VCA the other for 'none' or explicit the filter for example... just ideas no facts though..
I have for many years the idea the GMS250 explicitly was build for the ARP 2600 and/or maybe the VCS3/Synthi...
I also read somewhere it's possible to modulate the frequency of the sequence. That's also possible on the ARP sequencer... maybe a logical choise to put that in too... if not I'll have a great GMS250 lookalike

Do you also wanna build this thing? That´s also my plan for years . But i have no idea from where to get this fat matrix. The remaining parts are no problem. a Microcon here, chained 8-Bit-shift registers there, maybe a 4067 to read out the Y-Axis, Midi I/O is also no problem. But i´d like to add a MMC for storage and -maybe- a SysEx-Function.
The absolute Hammer would be a sort of LED´s -inside- of -each- hole and a touch-sensitive demultiplex-circuit, which reacts on fingertips on the holes. So you wouldn´t need pins for programming -and- you would be able to use the Matrix as a sort of Display (for Setup properties, for example) instead of a LCD. Learning Ass-Code for the 68000 would be too much for me. I also program under Assembler, but there the M68K would be "oversized".
