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

[harrybissell]

well... I don't often stick up for Paul Perry

(prlly because he's an AH dep... and "I fought the Law"... :^)

This IS a viable solution. Latency could be as little as one
cycle of audio with a ramp/hold converter... or if you use a high
frequency you can do a tachometer style with very short delays...

Sure, maybe not enough for 130bpm sequences... but it would work
for everything else.

The V/F converter need not be a musical 'vco'... there are many
easy to use chips out there...

slicing and dicing could be fun.  Maybe record to tape and do the
original 'cut and paste' technique.

(btw Paul... you know tomorrow I'll be on your @ss again... ok ??   :^)
