Notron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Notron is a fantastically cult British-designed MIDI step sequencer used by Björk, Howie B etc. Produced in two models, the Mark 1 (which somewhat resembled a digital toilet seat) was available between 1996 and May 1998. The Mark 2 was a slim blue box produced until about 2001. About 100 Mark 1 units were sold and a similar number of Mark 2s. The Notron is no longer produced.
It was developed by Gerald Campbell and the software was written by Dave Spowage of Concourse Systems (UK). It was sold under the company name Latronic.
In 1999 it won a Millennium Award from the Design Council and was exhibited at the Millennium Dome during 2000. For some time the Notron was on display in the London Science Museum.
