Pam’s Pro Workout is accurate enough to serve as both the master clock and drum sequencer, but I’m more drawn to the 6equencer. It’s immediate and avoids menu diving; it just lacks the clocking capabilities.

Pamela can sequence, but it doesn't have the hands-on control you'll want or even need in a live situation. Do you currently own this system? How do you feel about it?

The budget-friendly fix is to get a hardware sequencer, although the OXIs are very expensive. But just using that for drums seems like a waste, I would also remove Rene if you go this route.

If you just want drum sequencing without melody, check out these:
* Robaux LL8 2 or Robaux SWT16(+). These are tiny, no menus, no saving, cheap for Eurorack, very quick to use. Eight or sixteen drum channels.
* Doepfer A-157-1 (you need -1, -2 and -3 as a set). This is huge, no menus, no saving, you can see and directly edit all of the drum parts. Eight channels.
* vpme.de Euclidean Circles v2. Tiny, six channels, no saving, very quick to use, very musical because of the euclidean system. You don't have total freedom because it only has euclidian rhythms.
* Intellijel Steppy. This one is pretty popular, it's good and hast the most options. Internal memory. just four channels.

I also want to mention that the Bohm expanders need to be connected to the main module in the back, so the way you're spreading them now should not be possible.

Hey stefvanriet,

I don’t own the two middle rows shown in the thread. Euclidean Circles isn’t what I’m looking for because it can’t create irregular patterns. Steppy could be an option, but I don’t have a 1U row. Doepfer would be great, though :).

The issue is that I don’t trust the airlines with my case. I designed it to fit within carry on dimensions, which works out to 100 HP per row across 12U. The Robaux LL8 seems like a better fit. The 6equencer is compact, but after reading reviews about 2 HP modules, I think the LL8’s pads and clearly visible sequence would be more practical. It would also make it easier to count bars at a glance.

I don’t intend to arrange the Bohm that way. I already own the top and bottom rows, which is why I laid it out like that.
