I jumped at the chance to play with a prototype of Major Tom, NONO Modular’s first Eurorack module, currently on Kickstarter (HERE – http://bit.ly/KickMajTom). It’s very much still a prototype with updates already in place (beyond what I have here) and new ideas to be implemented as well.

NONO Modular have been in the Eurorack space for years with their cases (see those here http://nonomodular.com) but this is an impressive entry into the module space. Major Tom is 4 channel gate & CV sequencer with a unique polyrhythmic approach that places a 8th note triplet grid over a 16th note grid and allows you to sequence across both easily. There’s also switchable variations per part, gate fragments, dynamic gate adjustments and plenty more.

If you’re interest there’s details and backing options on Kickstarter here // http://bit.ly/KickMajTom

**NOTE //** while I’m just making beats here, you could be using this for melodies, riffs and basslines or even 4 voice polyphonic work. These are just the things my quick playing led to.
