Analog Sequencer/Sampler? (e)eprom

[Hairy Harry]

If I get this... the question is storing an analog value
like a CV in an eeprom... making a sequencer without "pots".
If this is the case it should not be too hard. The same digital
conversion is needed, but the number of bits MIGHT be less
if you can "quantize".  We all quantize anyway... just some
(like 8 bit) are more obvious than others (like 16 bit)

I think it would be "every BYTE an analog value..."
