Here we have the highly anticipated and massively capable (of many things) Step 8 from Joranalogue! Step 8 is a sequential sampling register capable of sequencing, burst generation, gate delays, analogue shift register, hocketing, mute interjections, clock divisions, graphic oscillator & VCA-like behaviour … I could go on, the list of potential is HUGE!
The video roughly follows an order from more basic functions to more advanced, each patch offers a different musical example of that function and it serves as a tutorial to do lots of things with Step 8, learning its functions along the way. With that in mind I’d love to know what you’re favourite patch in the video is and if you have questions along the way leave them in the comments.
