Sequencers / Trackers / Grooveboxes

Berlin-based KOMA Elektronik have announced Monoplex, a new 42HP Eurorack sequencer designed for hands-on melodic sequencing, generative patching and microtonal experimentation.

Polyend's big announcement for Superbooth 2026 is the Drums, a new drum machine that features both analogue and digital voices and boasts some powerful sequencing capabilities.

Polyend's latest release Drums features eight tracks designed for creating percussion using analogue voices, digital synthesis methods or sample-based instruments.

Boasting MIDI and CV/gate connectivity and functioning either as a standalone unit or Eurorack module, Cre8audio's new unit promises the ultimate sequencing experience for just about any setup. 

The first formal collaboration between the two brands will see a selection of the UK-based sampling experts’ virtual instruments made available within Akai’s MPC ecosystem.

Noise Engineering have announced Multi Repetitor, a new algorithmic trigger sequencer designed for live performance and compact percussion systems.

Living up to its title, the MPC XL essentially packs an entire studio into a single box, combining the much-loved MPC playing and programming experience with a wealth of audio, MIDI and CV connectivity options, DAW-like multitracking capabilities and complete standalone operation. 

The latest release from Woodman’s Immaculate Maple Syrup Studio introduces a new step sequencer that’s capable of controlling up to four instruments at a time. 

The MPC Live III features Akai Pro's expressive MPCe pads, a dedicated 16-button step sequencer and a new Clip Matrix mode that focuses on real-time performance, as well as boasting a built-in mic and speakers and offering battery-powered operation.
