Description

The BCS is a tiny 16 step sequencer that provides CV and Gate out. It can also be used as a handheld CV keyboard.

Boards for this fun little kit were handed out to everybody who attended Knobcon 2016. If you’re wondering what to do with your board, or want to get one of your very own, you’ve come to the right place.

The sequencer has its own internal clock to get you up and running in a hurry, but you can connect an external clock if you need greater control of tempo or want to sync with other devices.

This module has lots of LEDs and is very shiny, but only two of them are ever on at a time which keeps it from loading down your power supply.

We send you a board and a bag of parts so you can build it yourself. Difficulty level = medium (it’s all through-hole, but some of the soldering is kind of small). The kit includes:

PCB

Preprogrammed Microcontroller

All required parts to build kit

PCB/Chip Combo

If you’ve already got plenty of parts in your junk drawer or just want to source your own components, you can get this PCB/Chip combo. Includes:

Main PCB

Preprogrammed Microcontroller
