I love Rubycon; possibly my favorite TD recording. There's an easier way 
to accomplish the method you describe, though I'm not aware if TD had the 
module used to do it at that time: the 962 Sequential Switch (I might be 
wrong on the number). You could switch between either two inputs, or 
three, by pressing buttons or wiring in CV triggers from anywhere (but 
most often the final stage's output trigger, so whenever it was reached, 
the switch changed it's ouput to the next sequence row. The Moog seq 
could then automatically play through both or all three of it's rows.) It 
could easily be accomplished in real-time. Then again, I'm also not sure 
when this module was first introduced! Rubycon was 1975, so it's quite 
likely they had one. The Serge unit has this feature built-in, to switch 
between it's four rows via trigger pulse, summed to a dedicated output.

Easier,

Mike
