	This is a very clever circuit, and one I keep meaning to check
out. I didn't know about this circuit when I built my sequencer, and
used the "brute force" 16 comparator + 2 encoders method for my 4bit
flash ADC. My ADC takes control of the counter anytime the input voltage
goes over ~0.3v (5v / 17, there are 16 steps + the "off" state for the
ADC). Using the "jam inputs" on the counter like this is so easy and
adds some neat functionality to the sequencer, I highly recommend it.
Controlling it with an ADSR or a sawtooth wave for example. OTOH, you
(Juergen) can probably do all the same tricks with the interpolating
scanner, and do them better that way!

	As always, I'm anxious to see what you end up with!
