The Behringer 960 Sequential Controller at a glance

The 960 Sequential controller from Behringer is a classic, and not to say historic analog sequen cer with three parallel rows of eight steps each. The three rows switch simultaneously one after the other and output an individually set voltage with each step. The lower row with the selector switches (Shift Mode) selects between normal run, skip step and shorten sequence. Thanks to the internal clock generator, the sequencer has its own tempo and can even clock other module. Row three is additively able to vary the internal tempo; this creates interesting rhythms far away from the quaint sixteenth stacker.

Expandable with expander

With the 962 Sequential switch, the 960 Sequential controller can be expanded significantly. With only four more patch cables and just this module the 3x8 steps become 1x24 steps! This reduces the effective number of rows from three to one, but the sequence is now three times as long.

The modular system once developed by Robert "Bob" Moog, including its development process, went through a long production period between 1964 and 1981. At that time, the novel, electronic instrument was an avant-garde pioneering work that still had to be explained to the public; but eventually found more and more interested parties. Behringer has transferred the generously dimensioned dimensions to the compact Eurorack format and paid close attention to the fact that sound and function are in no way inferior to the cult object.
