and sequencer

>- It's not the most elegant or cheapest solution, but it works well.

Couldn't you just connect an adc and dac directly to the output from the sequencer? If you use proper scaling and omit the least significant bits, you would get instant quantization. I made a quantizer that outputs octaves and fifths, using the Simonton 4 bit ad converter. This feeds a home made precision dac. Works fine, but 16 steps is of course not quite enough for a sequencer. But I don't think you need a lot more, really. Most melodies don't use more than an octave. Phil Spector's Da-doo-ron-ron only use three notes.
