Thanks for mentioning that one Peng. :)  I just read the article on it and -
call me 'thick' if ya like. ;)  But I'm not entirely sure what the rest of
the circuit is for. ??  Are the 4 pots changing the length of the sequence
in any way, or the notes themselves?  (Trying to remember what the 7474 TTL
chip is - as I tossed ALL of my TTL, a few months ago. :( (Google -
AHhhhhhh, a FlipFlop. :) )
I'm not partial to regular 555s though, with all of the current they're
pulling and the noise they cause.  :(
But the other day - in searching for VC Clocks, I DID find the 4069 one from
Renè Schmitz. :)  I really like the look of it, as it's tiny as heck
circuitry wise. :D  I'm just about ready to cook the 1st  PCB for my
sequencer, but I still have room on the copper for another board.  So I MAY
lay down the 4069 VC Clock as well. :)

Thanks anyways though. :)
