What the world needs is.....

Yes, from the input I've gotten so far, a 16 or 32 stage
sequencer is sufficient for repetitive control.  What I'm thinking
about is have this SRAM-based with your patch settings for everything
stored with each sequence step.  You could have a totally different
patch on each sequence step.  If you don't want to change a setting
for the next sequence step then it just uses the last sequence's
setting and continues on.  This would make programming the thing
easier.  To get away from patch cords and matrix switches it would
use analog switches in most critical locations for the most common
patch configurations.  It would be best to have it all under
microcontroller control but it is do-able without one I suppose.  Of
course MIDI support would require one.....
