[sdiy] Fully assignable sequencer

[Florian Anwander]

Hi Scott,

as I understood, Darky did not really ask for a diy project, but more 
for a product.

And to be honest: the only commercial available HW sequencer which 
produces real usable CVs for oscillator pitch in classic tonal music is 
the Niessen SAM-16. No pots but switches....
