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

[Electronium]

Hey Peter,

Wow... great looking panel!
(Can you provide further info on the photo-anodized process?)

Sequence playing in the background is great also... very musical, yet not
predictable.

I've been finishing up the design on my (significantly less complex)
sequencer also... mostly done, but still a few minor details to figure out.
I'll be posting the results on my page at
http://home.attbi.com/~michaeltbrown1/e_sdiy.html as soon as it's completed.

Since yours seems to have worked out quite successfully, perhaps you can
critique my ideas after I post the circuits.

regards,
Mike
