The sequencer uses a 555 timer that feeds into a CD4017 decade counter. They wired in kill switches on each step to either change the time signature of the sequence or introduce syncopation. Each step has a potentiometer that can vary the frequency of the pulse or the control voltage.

Over the summer at ITP Camp, Mark and Ezer held a soldering workshop where the participants built sequencers of their own. The following day all the sequencers were linked together and they had themselves an electronic jam session.
