[sdiy] Sequencer design

[blacet at blacet.com]

A 4017 based sequencer (use the 74HC4017) is easier for tyros to deal with
but not a good design in terms of compexity and wiring.

An example of a sequencer/analog switch that is much more feature rich but
fairly easy to build is the Blacet Hex Zone.

This fairly novel approach combines a 16 channel switch with two sequencer
banks and shows what can be done with a uC based module.
