 Take a look at the schematics for the Sequensial Pro-one synth. If you
clone the circuitry from the DAC to the output, you can make a sequencer by
using the typical sequencer circuit feeding BCD switches (with diodes of
course). The Pro-one has a DIP socket right on the PCB to do this (you have
to pull the processor out to get it to work). You can get 6-bits worth of
note range from it. The output circuit has glide also. I have a bag of BCD
switches that I've kept to do this with. Unfortunatly this has fallen into
the "something I will do someday and probably won't" category.
