The René music synthesizer module is a a powerful three-dimensional prism of composition. It is the world's only 3D Cartesian Music Sequencer. Named for the French philosopher & mathematician René Descartes, it uses the Cartesian coordinate system to unlock the analog step sequencer from the shackles of linearity. The original René was a one-channel, two-dimensional Cartesian sequencer with limited memory, this new René is a three-channel, three-dimensional Cartesian sequencer with memory for up to 64 complete STATEs. Considering the multiple channels and FUN programming options per multiple axis, René has become an n-dimensional matrix or tesseract of synthesizer sequencing.

Rene 2 features three channels. Each of them comes equipped with a CV and a gate output. Instead of a linear step-by-step concept, this module offers X, Y and Z planes for programming sequences. More detailed, the X and Y axis form a coordinate system for placing notes. Thanks to separate clock, mod and CV inputs, you can freely move around on this “map”. Rene 2 holds up to 64 patterns, here called States. Using the Z axis, it is possible to switch between sequences in real time. Thus, you can flexibly combine 64 melodies and / or rhythms.
