[sdiy] (chuckle)....did I hear somebody say...SEQUENCER!!!!!!!

[Peter Grenader]

I have uploaded pictures, as well as a feature description of the completed
prototype of Milton, my 16 x 4 Voltage Controlled Sequencer here:

http://www.buzzclick-music.com/milton_features.html

Everything works (almost).  OK OK OK...I have not yet wired the 1V/oct
setting of the Voltage Control input yet, but that's gonna be easy and will
be done tomorrow AM.

The faceplates are Serge type anodized photosensitive brushed .062"
aluminum.  For any new members, note that 'voltaage controlled' means just
that - an external voltage will override the current count location and take
full control of the direction of the sequencer by assigning the active step
into 16 partials based onthe amplitude of the VC input.

Sorry for the bad-ish pictures - I left the good flash at work. In the
process of doing the final assembly (in which I only burned the cat with my
soldering iron once), I learned two things:

1) Dogs love TRUCKS

2) Counters HATE NOISE

I had a dickens of a time getting rid of grass which was effecting the
operation ALL OVER THE PLACE.  Even a healthy dosage of bypass caps did
nothing.  Turned out I was missing two measly little pulldown resistors -
sheesh.

The design changes which were incorporated during debugging are now being
added to the schematic and then it's off to PCB design, I swear.  Shortly
afterward, PCBs will be for sale.  Check the site for details.
