RYO Penta

I need more sequencing options now as I have more potential voices to sequence. Most step sequencers seem pretty big, but I’ve found this PCB/panel for the RYO Penta step sequencer, which does 3/4/5 steps and is really tiny.

Should be dead handy for basslines and simple leads.

The Penta turned out to be another troubleshooting nightmare. After a few days of chatting with more experienced folk on some forums and Facebook groups and studying the schematics, I narrowed one of the major problems down to a faulty transistor. I replaced that and it now works, although the range of step 1 is somewhat smaller than the other steps. I can live with it.
