1U Alan by After Later Audio is a complex combination of sequencer, Shift register and clocked random generator based on the Turing Machine respectively Grand Richter's Noisering in the practical Intellijel 1U format. Using a cyclically shifting computational model and white noise, the module generates a constantly changing CV/gate sequence whose state can be frozen. It is not possible to enter notes with Alan, but Alan is a good choice for patches and sequences, in which mainly randomness is used. Length determines the length of the computational model, so fewer steps mean fewer coincidences within a run. Change changes the sequence to a decisive degree. The internal noise generator has its own output and can be used anywhere in the Patch. The After Later Audio 1U Alan depends on an external clock, eg. from an LFO or a MIDI to CV/Gate interface. This ensures a musically meaningful interaction in Patch. The CV input is assigned to the Change control.
With the separately available expandersMorcom and Enigma you get access to every single pulse Alan generates respectively a second, adjustable CV output which is always in relation to Alan's main output.
