Analog Sequencer Poll

[Mark Pulver]

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

2x16, alternately 4x8


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

*AUDIO* rates... 400-500hz


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

LFOs, VCOs, ADSRs (on seqs that have a VC clock - you can get a great
automated  slowdown on a one-shot sequence).


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

VC (or GATEable) START/STOP and RESET. This is a must for being able to
chain sequencers together.

Individual GATE outs PER STAGE. The GATEs are a great way to trigger/clock
multiple sequencers from one master sequencer.

CLOCK OUT and CLOCK IN.

VC over the internal clock.

Multiple CV busses - ala the ARP 1613. This isn't so much for having a
stage that supplies multiple voltages to a bus, it's more of being able to
assign the single stage voltage to one or more busses.

On board lag (portamento) processor. This saves a module in the outside
world, and it actually one of the neat things about the PAiA sequencer from
days gone by.


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

There ain't nuttin' that I haven't used on a analog sequencer that I've
been put in front of! 


>   6)  Add additional comments...

Sign me up for three!


I look forward to following this project!
