The Unperson Gets Wiggly: PlayFader Rev 2 Unleashed
Two Channels, Double the Trouble
Let’s kick things off with the PlayFader Rev 2’s bread and butter: dual-channel CV and Gate sequencing. The Unperson wastes no time, getting their hands dirty with the basics—recording melodies and locking in rhythms faster than you can say “sausage sizzle.” It’s all about immediacy here, with each channel ready to pump out patterns and keep your modular rig moving.
The PlayFader’s workflow is as hands-on as it gets. Knobs, buttons, and sliders come together for a tactile experience that’s more satisfying than finding a $20 note in your board shorts. You can build sequences on the fly, tweak them mid-gig, or just muck about until something magic happens. In short, it’s an open invitation to get experimental, and you’ll be grinning like a kookaburra before the first loop finishes.

Shake, Rattle and Sequence: The Accelerometer

Now, here’s where the PlayFader jumps the fence and starts chasing the neighbour’s chooks. The built-in accelerometer lets you control your sequences by tilting and moving the unit—talk about interactive! Suddenly, your synth’s behaviour depends on your dance moves. Twist it, lean it, or give it a shake, and your CV patterns follow suit like a kelpie on a sheep run.
This playful element is a real game-changer for live performance and off-the-cuff experimentation. The Unperson demonstrates how a little wrist action can send your modular patch into uncharted territory. If you’ve ever wanted your gear to respond to your wildest gestures, the PlayFader’s got you covered—no need for extra patch cables or obscure menu-diving.
Beyond Sequencing: Creative Modulation Mayhem
But why stop at sequencing when you can turn the PlayFader into a full-blown modulation machine? The Unperson shows how the device spits out evolving CV signals to control everything from filter sweeps to wobbly LFOs. It’s like strapping a cyclone to your synth rig—suddenly, everything’s moving, shifting, and morphing in real time.
This isn’t your standard step sequencer business. By harnessing the PlayFader’s unique output, you can inject controlled chaos into your patches. Whether you’re after subtle movement or full-blown generative madness, there’s plenty of room for surprise. It’s the sort of feature that’ll have you experimenting for hours, just to see what wild modulations you can coax out next.

Live Tricks and Experimental Treats
With all these features under the bonnet, the PlayFader Rev 2 isn’t just a sequencer—it’s a live performance beast. The Unperson puts it through its paces, showing how real-time tweaks, gestural controls, and flexible outputs make for a rig that’s ready for anything. Whether you’re in the studio or getting dusty at a bush doof, this unit can handle the chaos.
Experimental musos will froth over the sheer variety of tricks on offer. From on-the-fly pattern switching to unpredictable modulation, the PlayFader opens up creative avenues that’ll keep your audience guessing. And let’s be honest—some of the most bonkers sounds are best experienced in the video itself, so don’t just take my word for it!
Fun in Action: PlayFader’s Workflow Demo
To wrap things up, The Unperson gives us a taste of the PlayFader Rev 2 in full flight, running through practical demos that lay bare the device’s quirky charm. The workflow is fast, flexible, and a bit cheeky—perfect for anyone who likes their gear with a side of unpredictability.
