[sdiy] fixing the modular sequencer concept, epiphany & solution

[Paul Perry]

As has been said before (often by me), if you 
want to record & chop up (reverse etc) CV
signals, just convert CV to Frequency, then
store & manipulate as audio, then convert back.
Whihc means you can use any kind of audio
memory/delay/slicer&dicer.

This is actually how people used to do a lot of 
engineering telemetry back in the old days, so
the technology is very much established, though
today much easier thans to DSP, micros, etc.

mind you, for many practical applications, you
might not need 100% precision (I can imagine a 
lot of cases wher it is volume levels & fiter sweeps
rather than actual precise oscillators tht you wnt to 
manipulate). In which case very simple circuits 
will suffice.

As for licensing a design & then not manufacturing it..
IANAL (thank god!) but, if there was an implied 
agreement that the things WOULD be manufctured, and 
that you would get some income from this, then I think
refusal to manufacture might be grounds for abandoning the 
agreement (unless you already got some money for doing 
the original work).
