Hi Tim,

You could avoid all that and get a cv-converter a mac/pc and something
like Cubase with an arpeggio generator. Hardware sequencers are a different
sort of beast. Hugely expensive and a pain to build for the little they do but
it's very special. If you have several and stuff to drive with them theres nothing
else quite like it.
