HOW OBERKORN WORKS IN MORE DETAIL
INTRODUCTION
The analogue sequencer is quick and easy to use. Plug it in and off you go! That is the
attraction for many people. But what I have done with the Oberkorn is the ‘hack’ the signals
inside to allow for greater control and creativity. The downside is that using the hacked
features is less intuitive unless you have some basic knowledge of logic circuits! If you can
understand these extra features you will get so much more out of it.
I will try my best to explain in a little detail how an analogue sequencer works inside, and
with that knowledge you might better understand how some of the extra Oberkorn features
work.
Do not worry if the results are not exactly what you expect. This is old style modular synth
technology, and half the beauty is the quirky surprising results that you can obtain, often by
accident!
