Analog Sequencer Poll

   I'm getting rather excited about starting another (yet another!) synth 
project.  I'm currently in the process of routing a circuit board for the 
Superseque project (thanks for the individuals responsible for getting 
the schematics on AH!).  Should be done in a week or less I imagine.
   Anyway, as I was looking through the schematics, I've noticed a few 
areas of improvement (simply because I can't leave anything original!) 
that I think would greatly increase the functionality of the original 
design.  However, since I've never owned an analog sequencer, I don't 
know what exactly I'll be able to do with it or what neat things I will 
want on it after I've already built it.
   So...I'd like to hear from all the analog sequencer owners and find 
out a few things (consider it a questionnaire):

   1)  What are your preferred number of stages (1x16, 2x8, etc)?

   2)  How fast should a sequencer be able to cycle through its stages?

   3)  What kind of outboard devices do you use to control/tweak the
       sequencer with?

   4)  What features would you like to find on a sequencer?

   5)  What features do you not use on your sequencer?

   6)  Add additional comments...

   To peak some of your curiosity, I am making the Superseque board at 
the exact same dimensions as the ASM-1 board.  This includes mounting 
holes and power supply connections.  This will make it easy for anyone to 
integrate the two projects, once I get working boards going.
   Don't email me asking to reserve any boards.  I'm not going to release 
anything until I know it works.  I'll post in the event that I have 
something to offer the rest of you.
   In the meantime, those of you that would like to help me along some, 
respond to my questionnaire and give me some feedback!

   Thanks in advance,

   Tony
