Around November 2016 I embarked upon a new version of the SEQ v4. Some initial concepts had an integrated 16*4 BLM included, but the idea was refined to something simpler.

The goals of the project are to provide an upgraded control surface with high-quality hardware. This includes Matias keyswitches rated at 50M cycles and a streamlined workflow with a dedicated button row.

Although I (latigid on) have done most of the design and prototyping, I am in communication with TK. who will cover the software changes to get the new control surface up and running. I've also had a lot of collaboration with Adrian Hallik who is looking at a case design.

The following components are intended to comprise a full SEQ V4+:

• le MEC (*2 required)
  • Beat LED (optional but recommended)
• ENC-PLATE (*2 required)
• JOG
• Two 40*2 OLED displays (details later)
• A wCoreF4 including:
  • wCoreF4 PCB
  • USB-power module
  • RES-SD module
• MIDI8
• I2C
• line-transmit
  • in effect there is space for a DB-25 expansion port, so alternative options are possible.
