Here are some facts about the AS-1 sequencer:

1] Its V.cute

2] It is very small and compact having 16 steps and a lot of nice control features

3] My model has the serial number "DEMO" - so I guess this was one of the first units produced and used by the guys at Polyfusion to show people what it could do

4] The AS-1 was one of the first stand alone step sequencers. I can only think of a few dating from the 1970s: the ARP 1601, the Oberheim Mini Sequencer and the Korg SQ10. The Polyfusion is the coolest looking though. For some reason it reminds me of K9 which is a nice thought

5] The AS-1 came with an amazing user manual that has to be one of the BEST LOOKING USER MANUALS EVER DESIGNED! Its so cool that I scanned my version and made a PDF for you

I just got my ARP 1601 sequencer back from Keith who fixed it's broken power supply. He ordered a red glowing power switch so of course they sent a green one. Here it is controlling the ARP 2500. The 1601 is set to 'random' so that the 16 stages jump around indecisively, which is nice



By the way, if you don't know what an ARP 1601 is here is the user manual:
