Latronic Notron MIDI Step Sequencer - SN 10027

Latronic Notron MIDI Step Sequencer for sale complete with its original power supply, box, owner's manual, various printed guides and even an unused sticker.

With somewhere around/over 150 units ever made, these are super rare in any condition, but to find one like this is almost unheard of.

This is only the third example of this iconic and flexible midi sequencer we've seen - it's been very hard parting with each one as they are truly unique.

The first one we saw had previously belonged to Human League.

POWER: The included power supply is for use on 240v supplies. The manual is very clear about the risks of using anything other than the one supplied. So for use on 110/120v mains you will either need to use a voltage converter or very carefully source the correct PSU - we can help with those as needed.

You can find more info about them online, but this is what Wikipedia has to say:

"The Notron is a British-designed MIDI step sequencer used by Björk, Howie B etc. Produced in two models, the Mark 1 was available between 1996 and May 1998. The Mark 2 was a slim blue box produced until about 2001. About 100 Mark 1 units were sold and a similar number of Mark 2s. The Notron is no longer produced.

It was designed by and developed by Gerard Campbell and the software was written by Dave Spowage of Concourse Systems (UK). The original model bodywork was designed by Martyn Seiles. It was sold under the company name Latronic.

In 1999 it won a Millennium Award from the Design Council and was exhibited at the Millennium Dome during 2000. For some time the Notron was on display in the London Science Museum.

Only about 150 Notrons were made, and production on them has been discontinued. So, already, it is a collectible instrument and will surely increase in value as time passes...

It does different reset points for each sequence, can output 4 different sequences, It does LFO shapes, weird stuttering things, step length stuff, pitch bend and mod wheel macros, chords on steps, some time-stretching emulation sort of tricks, delays, strums and reversals. Some of the other neat stuff was being able to group changes across multiple steps, and all of it in real time. A very cool machine!"
