Infection Instruments was founded in December 2001 by David J. Hughes to produce innovative and exciting musical instruments for the professional and enthusiastic amateur musician. The first product to be released is Zeit, a real-time, performance-oriented eight track MIDI Step sequencer :
"... just great! Very stable. It could have been a Yamaha or Korg industrially produced device. Same level of reliability," Olivier Caillet, nosoftware.com

"I recently got a Zeit from David at Infection Music. I mean to write it up when I'm totally familiar with the operation of the thing, it's an absolute blast to play with, though, and very, very creative, very quick and intuitive to use. I've actually had to ban myself from playing with it from time to time, as I get nothing else done otherwise."

I recently visited Dave Hughes's, where I got a proper hands-on play with the new ZEIT sequencer. I have a reputation for not being the most technically-minded musician. I have ideas in my head & I want them out in the open A.S.A.P. Going through menu pages & the like just distracts me. I have owned many sequencers in my time, all of which have had their moments, once I've read the manual (4 times) & finally worked out the logic behind such Òuser-unfriendlinessÓ.
There wasn't a manual, but that didn't stop me from having a go anyway & actually doing something half decent within an hour of playing with it. ThereÕs a lot of stuff that this instrument can do that I don't want to explore at the moment, but I found enough good stuff to get on with and I felt that once I had a good grip of the basics, the rest would fall into place.
The machine inspires & challenges you to do more than you think its capable of. I put a series of random notes in and with minimal 'fiddling', I had something to work with. I can see it being very useful when improvising on stage".
