Run through of the functioning of the sequencer clone
Added 2021-04-17 19:05:07 +0000 UTCa look through a machine i built for part of tomorrows video, basically focussing on the build for technical reference as a livestream

2021-04-21 18:46:07 +0000 UTCThe sequencer, in abstract, is a class of 1-dimensional cellular atomaton with a toroidal topology. The knobs select taps into the topology to drive a pseudo random bit stream. I think it can be legitimately called a computer. It wouldn't be hard to imagine that the circuit designer was thinking that way given that they were discovered by Stanislaw Ulam and John von Neumann in the 40s and then John Horton Conway was researching them in the 70s about the time I imagine this circuit designer would be inspired to experiment with them.
