Create infectious musical sequences with the standalone intellijel Metropolix Solo, a unique and powerful multitrack Eurorack musical sequencer in a desktop case, allowing you to interface with your DAW or other hardware music machines without the need for a full Eurorack system. With an abundance of hands-on, tactile controls, and a wealth of modulation possibilities (both internal and external) you can quickly and easily create your modern masterpiece. Even the simplest melody can be brought to life with seemingly endless options to create variations or real-time manipulations.

In the studio or in a live performance, the Metropolix Solo is sure to become a staple source of fresh ideas and killer riffs in your creative process. This interactive sequencer is optimized for live performance, jamming, and improvisation. It features configurable hands-on control of all the most essential performance parameters. Sequences transform and mutate with just the twist of a knob, a flick of a switch, a nudge of a slider, or an injection of CV. The Metropolix Solo includes an internal USB-Mini to USB-Mini connection cable, a 3.5mm DIN to TRS (A) MIDI adapter, and a 15 VDC power supply.

• Two tracks (TRK 1 and TRK 2) are variants of a main pitch/gate sequencer, which is programmed via the pitch sliders, Pulse Count and Gate Type switches. Each track interprets the main sequence in a variety of ways—creating complementary variations that enable you to generate counterpoint, polyrhythms, and all manner of sonic movement (both subtle and extreme).
• Each of these tracks has its own playback order, sequence length, clock division, swing amount, slide time, and track gate lengths. Other track-based sequence variables are accessible from the Track menu and include Pitch Slider inversion; sequence note range; track transposition; and more. In addition, both tracks have multiple lanes of per-stage playback parameters, including gate override; pitch override; ratchet count; probability of playback; accumulating transposition, and a dedicated CV lane. Each stage also has a SKIP feature, and a pitch SLIDE option.

Automate pitch movements on a per-track or per-stage basis. Use various trigger types and increments to control variation on your tracks.

Eight Separate modulation lanes are accessed via the Mod button. Each mod lane has 8 stages of modulation values and its own playback order, length, and clock division; and each lane is routable to one of Metropolix' two assignable outputs or dozens of internal destinations, allowing for sophisticated and powerful self-modulation.

A trio of Aux inputs allows for external modulation of user-assignable sequencer parameters for even greater variation, while two assignable control knobs give you direct access to the parameters you want to adjust most frequently during a performance. With dedicated pitch/gate outputs for both Track 1 and Track 2, two totally user-assignable outputs (A and B), and internal modulation routing, Metropolix features a wealth of patching opportunities.

Design and modulate between your own custom scales and root note.

Use the control knobs, aux inputs, or mod lanes to modulate the BPM of your track and the clock outputs of the Metropolix.

Metropolix also features Loopy mode, allowing you to instantly play back short subsequences, or play the stage buttons directly (like a keyboard).

Metropolix stores up to 64 preset configurations (in 8 banks of 8 presets), and all live settings are stored in EPROM, ensuring that your Metropolix will always power up exactly as you left it—even if you haven't saved them to a preset. By default, presets can change all the structural (menu-based) elements of your sequencer without overwriting the front-panel controls, but full recall is also available.

• The Gx (Gate Expander) adds 8 additional gate/trigger/clock/logic outputs to compatible modules like the Metropolix.
• On Metropolix, you can configure the Gx via the MX menu. Functions such as transport control, per-stage gates, and mod-lane clock outputs are example output options.
• It connects via ribbon cable to the I2C expansion port of select modules in the intellijel product line.

The standalone desktop case allows you to keep your Metropolix sequencer separate from a Eurorack case. The case features 3.5mm TRS (A) Input, Output, and Thru connectors, a USB-C connector, and a 15 VDC power supply.

A: Yes, the Manfrotto Solo Background Support System (10') is a very good background support. It supports like most up to 22 lbs.

Q: 9. can this hold a 10x20 vinal backdrop or would it be to much wait?

A: Yes, this support system is capable of holding a vinyl backdrop.

Q: 10. Without the subscription services, is there a workable free Ap? To tell LiveU device where to send the stream? To one of many CDN? And can LiveU stream live using ONLY wiFi from a smart phone hotspot? No other modedm no ethernet, strictly a hot spot from let's say an iphone? Obviously it would have to be in airplane mode. Also would a subscription be required if I wanted an embedding code of the stream to give to a client so they can IT it to their website?

A: According to LiveU they do not have an App. However they do have a portal, which is mobile friendly and can be accessed on the go. The LRT subscription is to take advantage of the bonding feature on the unit however it is not needed. The unit can stream on 1-4 connections at the time with LRT active. The unit can only stream to one CDN at a time, however Switchboard Live and Restream are both good options to push your stream to multiple destinations. LRT and Graphics are their only two subscriptions and neither are required to stream.
