Cuisine: Beyond Step Sequencing
 
Cuisine is a 12-track performance sequencer designed with a primary focus on performance and flexibility, embodying the true modular spirit. It overcomes the traditional boundaries of step sequencing with its innovative Performance Mode, allowing for the intuitive creation of complex and dynamic pattern variations. With highly flexible internal routing and 12 fully independent tracks, Cuisine can be meticulously tailored to any personal workflow.
 
Key Features :
 12 Independent Tracks: Freely configure each track as Note, Drum, or Modulation.
 Advanced Performance Mode: Temporarily override your sequence, record knob movements for perfect loops, and create new variations on the fly.
 Deep Customization: Per-track settings for length (up to 64 steps), clock division, patterns, and more.
 Expressive Musicality:  Features like user-customizable scales, main transpose, per-step gate length, and velocity control.
 Euclidean Rhythm Generator:  Effortlessly create complex and evolving polyrhythms.
 Flexible I/O: Freely assignable CV and gate connections for deep integration with your modular setup.
 Open Source Hardware: Built on an Atmega4809, fully programmable with the Arduino IDE.
 
Creative Sequencing Powerhouse
 
Track Configuration:
12 completely independent tracks, freely configurable as:
        Note, Drum, or Modulation types.
Flexible track structure:
       Up to 64 steps per track.
Individual track clock division settings.
12 patterns per track and 16 banks for storing patterns.
Independent control over each track's clock, reset, size, playback, and pattern changes for complex and dynamic arrangements.
 
Musical Features:
Euclidean pattern generator for creating intricate rhythmic patterns.
User-customizable scale that can be deactivated independently on each track.
Main transpose feature for easy chord progressions within the selected scale.
Individual gate length control per step, plus a track-specific relative gate length.
Expressive velocity control, including main base velocity and accent velocity.
Full-range velocity per step on Drum tracks.
Versatile Playmode options: Control your tracks manually, like a finger drummer, or through internal routing.
 
Performance & Workflow :
 
- Performance Mode:Opens a new world of variation possibilities.
Temporarily bypass sequence event values by turning a knob or using the keyboard.
Record only on knob movement for perfect looping of your performance.
Loop and repeat a section of your sequence, then record it to create a completely new variation.
- One-Handed Design: Built for fast, intuitive operation.
- Efficient Workflow:
Copy, Paste, and Clear functions, usable selectively or on a per-page basis.
Quick save and load functions for selected tracks.
- Standalone or Eurorack: Use it on your desktop or as the heart of your modular system.
 
Connectivity & Integration :
- Inputs & Outputs:
4 CV (Control Voltage) outputs (0-8V).
8 gate/triggers outputs (0-5V).
4 gate inputs.
MIDI TRS input and output.
USB-C port for power and firmware updates.
 
Flexible Routing:
All inputs and outputs are freely assignable to any track(s).
Gate inputs can be used for main clock, individual track clocks, reset, or playback control.
Internal gate and accent events can also be routed for advanced control.
