While we're on the subject, does anyone recall the details of David
Vorhaus's sequencer
called 'maniac' if I remember rightly. I came across a reference ages
ago in a TV prog and 
amoung it's many features was the 'space time warp navigator' or some
similar such name.
This gizmo was supposed to ensure that sequences of different lengths
all ended up in sync properly.... no details were given of course :-)

Ring any bells?
