Analog sequencers

[Duane R Balvage]

   Hello all -


    I am probably gonna get major flamed for this (or at least some snickers),

  but *what good* is an analog sequencer? all it can do is cycle through the

  *same* 8 or 16 notes *over and over*.... (sounds like some top 40 music I've

  heard as of late). This may work in techno, where repitition is pretty

  much the norm (or standard operation), but is not too useful in more, uh,

  dare I say "musical" applications. (I know, I'm asking for it now ...).

   As if you haven't figured it out already, I do *not* like techno, but I

  *love* synthesizers, especially analog and (dare I say) FM synthesis.

  (I can't help it - the DX7 was my first professional keyboard! [way back

  in 1987] I *still* program it!). What it boils down to is this ... Are

  there any other uses for analog sequencers other than repetitive arpeggio

  basslines and such? I would like to know!!   :P
