Octagon is a powerhouse sequencer that allows super fast and easy creation of rhythmically elaborate patterns and melodies. Sequences can be up to 32 steps, and each step contains up to 8 gate pulses with numerous modes for extended note values, legato play, repeats, or user-defined patterns within each sequence step! Each step also includes ratcheting, skip, and slide controls. Octagon's unique slide implementation allows traditional-style synth portamento or 303-style constant rate slide.
Up to 32 steps can be enabled and viewed via Octagon's bank and step shift controls. Octagon also offers numerous step play order modes including an innovative CV control mode for "playing" steps via a keyboard controller or another sequencer. A complete array of CV inputs allow real-time voltage control of tempo, note gate time, sequence length, transport controls, and more.

This is the one you need...
8 step and 16 step are good to get you up and running, but the Octagon is the one you REALLY want to go full Tangerine Dream and beyond. I love it.

For more than just pitch.
Pro Tip, use the sequencer to create different rhythm patterns (have each step be a different rhythm, you have 8 Pulses to work with) and use the Gate Out to your Envelope module. Patch a LFO into Octa's Gate Input. Use the CV out to modulate a filter module's frequemcy (patch a LFO into Octa's CV offset as well). Run Octagon in Brownian Order Mode for ever-changing yet still somewhat repeating groove lines. Use other, different sequencers to drive oscillator pitches, that way your notes will never sound the same way twice.
