With a few minor limitations this works the same as it's Moog mother. Very versatile and controllable. I have two and use them to control parameters on my digital modules such as oscillator voice selection, delay/echo times and DSP settings. I'll be getting a 3rd 962 switch for a 48-step sequence potential, and additional switching/triggering options. Downside, live changing of the skip/normal control during performance causes lockup (or stall) in the sequencer operation if that stage is active while moving the control. It's easy to avoid at slower speeds, impossible at fast speeds, a glitch of IC design earning 4 1/2 stars.

After seeing videos on YouTube like Siliconsequences by morbius001 (look it up), I really wanted a sequencer that would do that. I love the Moog aesthetic, and the functional design of the Moog sequencer. But alas, such a sequencer could not be found.

Behringer to the rescue! The 960 Sequential Controller is a powerful sequencer built in the spirit of the original Moog 960. The controls, especially for timing, are a little old-school, but that's part of the appeal. The design is well thought out and the module itself seems solid, although I've had to fiddle a little bit with one or two of the jacks. I think maybe they could have spent a little more on those, much as they're going to get used.

Paired with the Behringer 962 Sequential Switch, the 960 Sequential Controller transforms from an 8-step sequencer into a 16-step or 24-step monster, capable of a wide range of timings with lots of flexibility. For the kind of mod wiggling I like to do, a sequencer like this is simultaneously a must-have and a no-brainer. Pick one up. Period.

But seriously, if you do buy the 960 (I'm very glad I did), throw a 962 and a handful of additional patchcords into the cart as well. You'll thank me for that.

Beautiful craftsmanship and design.Durabillaty is supreme!!!

This is a wonderful sequencer it works quite well and has many features, 8-24 steps with a sequential switch that has at least 3 positions I have a doepfer A-151 switchable 2-4 quad sequential switch which works just fine I do plan to get the Behringer 962, you can never have too many sequential switches. I highly suggest this sequencer!

Took a few attempts to get to work, but mine now sits in a Behringer go case hooked up to my Moog Mother 32, and sounds great. The learning curve is somewhat deep here, but that's the joy of analog, isn't it.

My first synthesis course in college was in a studio that had a Moog 900 series modular. We had three 960s. It was a blast using them. The 960 is well designed. If you have the 962 you can use it as 3 eight step sequencers, 1 sixteen step & an eight step sequencer, or 1 24 step sequencer. The double CV outputs on the A, B, and C row save you on multiples, the range settings on the A, B, & C row are also very convenient (X1 is great for conventional melodies, allowing you finer control of the tuning).

Driving the 960 with an external oscillator / gate signal is a breeze. Using the C row to control the rhythm is easy as well. The stop, skip, and normal switches are great for improvising variants of your eight step melody / rhythm. It is a well suited instrument for live improvisation. The controlling oscillator also runs fast enough such that you can take a row of CV output at x4, and use it as bizarre eight stage oscillator (you'll get very little pitch range, but you can record it and then use it as a sample).
