[sdiy] trying to understand appregiators in late 70's synths

[Paul Maddox]

Dan,

If you don't want to dive into code, being honest you'd be better off  
with a simple CV/Gate sequencer with the ability change the root note  
(analogue sum output of CV and output of keyboard). Which is, IMHO,  
far more interesting musically than an arpggiator.
