We were the first Sequential Authorised Service Centre in Britain & Europe.
Servicing more of their instruments than anyone else. This position only ceased when Sequential closed.
Sequential Circuits Inc. produced a number of other instruments etc. Some were too cheaply made to be placed here, they appear to have been a vain effort to 'go with the market'. They should have stuck to what they did best. One of their earliest designs, a programmer, did not set the world alight. An ambitious programmable effects rack was not a success & did not sell well over here. Too bulky, too expensive, too complex, too noisy, too unreliable & too late. How many 'toos' can one product have? They produced samplers & sample based drum machines. As already stated we do not consider such machines to be classic.
Possibly the best sampling drum machine in the World. However, it uses unobtainable custom parts & was not fully developed during the company's lifetime.
So unfortunately more became less, due to short-sighted economy, a pity. Some further software development was completed after SCI's closure & a new operating system released. This allows the SCSI port to work properly & improves some other features. Drum pads tend to perish, going soft & 'squishy'. As with the machine here. |
