**Wouldn't it be nice if every process could be made this explicitly easy to understand? Debayering explained with Lego, anyone? **

Here's a video of something that's nothing to do with video, except that it's a type of technology. 

But the way that this video makes the way a sequencer works completely obvious - to the extent that no verbal explanation is needed - is wonderful. 

The tech in question is a sequencer: a device that plays notes in a pre-arranged order This happens on several parallel "tracks" and forms the basis of many modern types of music, but - stripped bare - it's fundamentally the way that Techno works. 

Well done to YouTube user Optico Sonico for building this and performing in the video. 

And [thanks to Ask Audio for bringing this to our attention.](https://ask.audio/articles/make-minimal-techno-with-a-sequencer-built-out-of-lego-bricks).
