Why Hardware Sequencing Feels "Alive" I’ve been spending some time with the Moog Messenger recently, and while the analogue signal path is lovely, it’s the sequencer that really caught my ear. It’s fun, musical, and most importantly, it breaks away from that static, rigid feeling we often get in the box. The magic of the Messenger’s sequencer, and many modern hardware units, lies in its probabilistic controls. It introduces just enough chaos to keep a loop interesting without descending into...
