Berlin School Synth Jam With Zaquencer


Synthesist Gary P Hayes shared this Berlin School style synth jam, Morphogenesis.

The jam is performed with Zaquencer – an unofficial firmware for the Behringer BCR2000 that turns it into a multi-channel step sequencer. Behringer has previously announced to bring back the BCR2000 in compact form – and to include Zaquencer as a factory option.

Here’s what Hayes shared about the technical details:

“The 4 track Zaquencer….is great for on the fly changes to step pitch (and whole track pitch), the wonderful step skip and mute, chords and inversions, ratchets, track step speed & polymetric / rhythm, various midi ctrls per step (2 separate ones) and a lot more.

Here I try a few of these an hour after getting it plugged in – 3 tracks into my bARP (doing 3 oscs, noise and 2 sustains), FM2 doing tuned perc and the Roland S1 doing analog synth things.

An obvious influence in many places to minimalism, but really a great exercise for me to learn how to best use the Zaq.”
