[sdiy] TR808 style digital analog sequencer

[creekree at gmx.de]

If you want/need Midi functionality, I´d suggest the (now discontinued) 
MAM SQ16. Its a nice Midi Stepsequencer with 13 so-called Instrument 
tracks (you now... for them BEATS) and 3 additional note tracks 
(basslines and such).
I like it for its ease of use in a live environment and also it allows 
for a fair amount of complexity - it can store different Midi setups, 
Step sets, has Rotate, Midi delay, an arpeggiator etc etc... I like it. 
Its only a shame they didnt put a Shuffle in there, though....
