Run through of the functioning of the sequencer clone

a look through a machine i built for part of tomorrows video, basically focussing on the build for technical reference as a livestream

stoked to see the schematic you put together! pausing the video and trying to read the article was making my eyes cross. lol

aaah yeah thats an interesting way of looking at it!!!

Look Mum No Computer

The 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.
