[sdiy] Globular Sequencer idea, take 2

the Mikado dominates fer sure...

i've been thinking about putting together a (you guessed it...) 
Arduino sequencer platform. the hardware would be similar to regular 
16-step analogue sequencers, but the brain would be uploadable 
software. and one of the applications such a platform could run would 
be a Klee emulator.

also with a software core stuff like sequence memories and saving 
memory via MIDI etc become possible. not to mention MIDI in and out 
and clocking, etc...

seems like the Ard is underpowered for a lot of potential sdiy 
designs but seems perfect for a sequencer.

i'll probably throw some ideas up on the arduino_synth group at some 
point and see if anyone has any comments etc.
