Paperface 50 | Serge Origins | Episode 05 | The Rhythm of Rome

My borrowed Paperface 50 also features the Tempo di Roma panel, a clever classic sequencer featuring two 4-step sequencers, each with three rows of CV values (roughly equal to notes), a gate row when a stage is reached, and stage selectors that double as keys and length controls.

It also has an 8 step gate sequencer, two bidirectional temporary sequential switches and one bidirectional alternating switch. Finally it features a logic circuit that can output the Min or Max of two CV values (Peak and Through).

It may be a powerful sequencer for 1970's standards, but it's really classic and vintage in the digital 21st century. However, it's also responsible for that classic vibe you will not find on modern sequencers where everything is perfect.
