uSEQ
uSEQ is a livecodeable eurorack module.
There's a paper on it here:
Kyriakoudis, Dimitris, & Kiefer, Chris. (2023, April 19). uSEQ: A LISPy Modular Sequencer for Eurorack with a Livecodable Microcontroller. 7th International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC2023), Utrecht, The Netherlands. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7843874
uSEQ modules, two panel designs (PCB, Aluminium)
uSEQ modules set up within eurorack performance systems
Features:
- Open source hardware and software
- Low-cost DIY project
- Live code using a simple LISP language library, from a laptop or mobile device, using serial-over-USB
- Stream waveforms back over USB serial to a computer, and route it to MIDI or OSC, linking the modular with software and external hardware
- Livecoding engine with flexible timing and varied options for creating gate and CV patterns (from basic waveforms to euclidean sequencing) and structuring arrangements

Developer notes
Building the Firmware
The firmware is in the uSEQ folder.
Build the firmware in Arduino IDE, using the Earle Philhower Pico core.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Board | Generic RP2040 |
| Boot Stage 2 | W25Q080 QSPI /2 |
| Flash Size | 8MB (Sketch 1MB, FS: 7MB) |
| CPU Speed | 250MHz (Overclock) |
| Optimize | Optimize Even More (-O3) |
Overclock the Pico at 250Mhz and set the optimisation level to -O3.
