Latest version of Squarp's excellent Pyramid sequencer. Proper creative business to break away from computers and get the most out of your synths and modules. Definitely one of our favourite sequencers on the market.

Supplier's notes:
Modern, easy-to-use & versatile hardware sequencer.

Pyramid provides you with a radical new workflow and almost unlimited possibilities.

It will become your ultimate studio centerpiece.

Pyramid is designed to be the perfect brain for your musical setup, from studio to stage. It brings together a powerful sequencer, a looper, a rhythm generator, a real-time effect processor, a midi controller and an input+output interface.

Pyramid does not produce sounds. Instead, we have focused our energies on creating an innovative and complete sequencing solution full of creative tools.

Pyramid is an instant source of inspiration to start, finish & perform your song!

With Pyramid's high precision clock, the sequencer becomes a great synchronisation tool for both vintage and recent devices. Your instruments will always keep in time: Pyramid is the heartbeat of your studio.

You can also use Pyramid sequencer as a rock-solid interface box for your MIDI, USB MIDI & CV / GATE setup:

filter note / clock / start stop / cc / pitch / aftertouch messages

route MIDI in to USB MIDI out

convert MIDI in to CV / GATE output and add effects

convert CV / GATE in to MIDI out

convert MIDI IN clock to DIN SYNC

Even if you use a DAW as your primary sequencer, Pyramid will become an indispensable Swiss knife!

Record a performance at any time with the built-in keyboard, the smartpads (generates chords, scales or repeats), the touchpad, the 5 encoders or an external controller... with true polyphony and high precision!

You can even use the midi looper mode, in the style of audio looper pedals. Live improvisation recording has never been so easy!

Create and arrange complex rhythms and melodies with the full realtime step sequencer, or edit your live recording.

The piano roll view clarifies notes and drums programming. Change the pitch, the velocity, the width and the offset of each note, in a flash. Zoom in (up to 1600%) to surgically edit the track. As Pyramid is fully polyphonic, a step can contain an unlimited number of notes!

Create CC or FX automation with the touchpad or with the 16 pads.

Create an infinite number of automation per track! Slide the touchpad to draw the automation, or use the 16 pads to edit or add step-lock parameters.

Pyramid offers one algorithmic euclidean sequencer engine per track, auto generating uncommon and rich rhythmic patterns. Almost all traditional rhythms from across the world can be generated with this tool.

Change the number of total steps, the number of filled steps, the step width, rotate the pattern, all of this on the fly. The displayed euclidean circle helps you to visualize the pattern.

Once your tracks are created, Pyramid offers several ways to play with your sequences: mute / unmute your 64 tracks on the fly, launch sequences (group of tracks), or chain sequences to create a complete, structured song.

You can choose to perform your tracks and sequences in sync (1 bar, 2 bars, ...) or not. It's even possible to play in sync with one beat resolution, a new way to improvise with sequences!

Pyramid includes 5 clickable encoders and a wide touchpad.

You can easily assign any of these controls to an effect parameter or a midi CC message by pressing the "assign" button, and recording the automation. Even the two CV analog inputs can be assigned - it's up to your imagination!
