Programmable Pulse Matrix

by The Human Comparator

The PPM offers quite complex pattern control with a simple interface. The key is to use the length feature in combination with the permutation outputs.

In a powered case. 

The PPM is a four layer trigger sequencer. Each layer is accessed by pressing the PATTERN SELECT button. Active pattern is displayed by the four LEDs above the PULSE SELECTION MATRIX, labelled A, B, C, and D. 

The PPM is compatible with the Buchla e-series preset manager. So if a 206e or a 225e module is present, you can store and recall patterns. The PATTERN SELECT button doubles as a REMOTE ON control. Hold for a few seconds and the SELECTION MATRIX will flash either a X or a O depending on if the remote control is on or off. The led in the PATTERN SELECT button will also turn off is remote control is disabled.

Performance mode is available by holding the LENGTH switch for a few seconds. In this mode the SELECTION MATRIX functions as performance selection. Which makes it possible to store up to 16 different performances. Pattern A selects when to loop from the selected performance to the next. This means that some patterns with a odd number in reference to pattern A might not loop at end of sequence.
