[sdiy] DOTCOM Analog Sequencer.. next project startup..

[Jean-Pierre Desrochers]

I'm starting to think about my next DOTCOM analog module:
a 16 steps sequencer (maybe 32 steps).
So far I'd have 2 choices for the final number of steps CV adjustments.

- Standard CV pots sequenced with gates
  pros: cost is cheap, the note value is physicaly kept by each pots
  cons: bad note precision on large span (I'd like a 61 notes span on each
CV adj),
              span must be kept not too large..
  
- Rotary encoders
  pros: Very large CV span can be achieved on each steps (beyond 61 notes), 
             quantization easy to be achieved on each steps adjustments. 
  cons: expensive (are they all ?), need for data memory to keep every note
values (micro-processor needed)
  
All the gates could be generated by the same micro or
from a precise adjustable master clock

What do you think from your past experiences ?
