Hi there everyone.

First post here. I have a question about Analogue Sequencers and would greatly appreciate if anybody could shed some light. (also: is there a search function for this group So I can make sure I'm not asking a question that's already been answered there is search groups but does that no search all groups )

I have a dark time sequencer. Enjoy it a lot, considering one day getting a MAQ16/3 but would rather wait until I'm really good with the dark time.

There is a brilliant guide to electronic music which I am currently reading by Allen Strange "Electronic music:...." which I'm sure many of you have read, it's suggest on the Dark Energy manual.

I was wondering if there is anything similary indepth or even anything at all which is aimed at sequencing. i.e not drum step sequencing, but note sequencing cv/gate and/or midi.

I like tangerine dream type stuff and I've seen some things on youtube about 'ratchetting' etc, but is there any books that cover lots of tips and tricks for different rhtyhms and musical ideas, patterns, basslines, mid-range with delays, styles. That kinda thing.

I guess I mean composing ideas for analogue sequencers. I can do quite a few things by ear, but it'd be great to have a list or guide of techniques, rhythms, ideas, patterns and ideas of how to use them tonally, i.e. settings on synth and effects to go along with it.

If there's any book out there that covers some of this (surely there is one somewhere) it'd be great if someone could guide me towards this. I've been searching for a long time for guides online but with no joy. Problem analogue sequencer is often too vague as lots of people are talking about x0x style sequencers.

Cheers
