GenoQs Machines' Nemo, as previewed by us in a video earlier this year from the Frankfurt Messe, is now available. They tell us that Nemo is a high-end MIDI step sequencer, adding portability to the highly acclaimed functionality and user friendliness of their Octopus model. They say that it is in many ways an Octopus in disguise, and one that feels equally well in a backpack or on your lap.
The company say that Nemo features the same sequencing lighthouse features that Octopus users have enjoyed for years, including polyphonic steps, self-modulating and cross-modulating sequences, freely editable musical scales, user editable runtime directions, full-scale MIDI recording, and much more.
A company spokesperson had this to say, “Nemo’s tactile and visual feedback, as in Octopus, is a physical experience so typical for traditional musical instruments. You know already that music is about your body as music is being felt, heard and played with Nemo. And the numbers behind it all.. no display? Well, do you really care? Yes, computers love them. We love light, color, and most of all music!�
