[sdiy] Sequencer design

[Rob Spencer]

Performance wise, the multiple pot option is nice and easy to play as you can make adjustments as it's cycling through the steps, but that comes at the price of loss of wiring.

The one pot option is easier to build, but you have to step through each step, set each one in turn, then see how it sounds. If you want to make an adjustment, it needs to be stopped, moved to the correct step, adjusted, then listened to again.

Cheers

Rob

These seem to fall broadly into two categories: The ones that have a whole load of pots wired between two rails, and use some kind of switch to select the appropriate output, or the ones that use some kind of switch (or logic decoder) to power up a single pot at a time.
