OMG – A Steampunk Modular Sequencer!
WOW and OMG! We just came across these pictures of …. something amazing. For a Gearjunkie one of the most appealing pieces of gear will always be Modular Synths and Sequencers. Because they embrace all that we love when we started out …. buttons, knobs, cables, lights and led’s, and so on! Even if you never have touched a modular, you still pay attention when you see or hear a modular setup. That’s why we think this Steampunk Modular Sequencer is so amazing.
