helo every body.

i have a question.

i'm bulding this days my new studio all with analog gear.
asm,ms,motm and more but i gut to the point in wich i have to deside what
stuff weil
control this systems.
so i lookd on the analog seq frome doepfer the regelwerk ,shaltwerek, maq,the
new 8 steps analog frome the system 100,all so the serge tkb and the small
ones
frome serge and the midi softwere frome stinberg and others.
i do like tonal music but i'm not a keyboard playr and i want to creat
my music with electronic devices.
i own the maq 16/3 and i did some testing with it, it seemes to me that
when i control analog gear with analog seq the synth  sound beter than
with midi softwewre and even when the maq control this with midi
it stil sound beter when i control it from the cv/gate out puts,it
seemes that it is more precise with cv like notes come one after
the outher exectley at the time they should like its in sync,i can hear
that especially
when i compere analog drume mechine like the TR to a patern on the sempler
that been controld midi (i'm not talking about the deference in sound
qualety,i'm talking
about timeing)
do i hear right ?
but if its like that than thers the problem of how to compose a treak
with anlog seq,every note cost so much so to creat
a full treak with thes devices (prcusiuns,leads ,pads etc)i weil need
lots of analog seq and sync them on to the other,a big block diagrem.
so if midi sound the same as analog seq so i weil just buy a good
midi softwere and some midi/analog seq like the maq,but if not
what i do then buy 10.000$ tkb's or what ?
and how do i create long patern on a analog seq more then 16 steps
with defrenet timing and gates and slides but steil sync to the main(i know
i can turn the maq to creat 48 steps but at the same gate time and timing
its not good enough).
may be analog seq where the right thing in the days before midi but not 
any more i dont know HELP ?

thanx
