This is theoretical. I drew the free eg pattern but I haven't had
time to actually try it on my board.If you're nuts, you should be
able to get polyphonic sequences using the free eg.

Turn on AN1X edit, go to the free eg edit. Set the controls for VCO 2
pitch. Set the length for 8 bars, There's 192 steps which means if
you have 8 bars, every 3 steps is an 1/8th note.Don't do this with
your mouse. You'll get carpal tunnel syndrome almost immediately.
Click on the arrow button then use your up arrow and your right
arrow. If you're in the key of C starting at 0 and 0, up 5 and over 3
will give you a 1/8 F note. You have 4 oscillators if you use dual
mode so use the sequencer to control the note of osc 1 scene 1 then
use 3 free eg parameters to control the notes of the other
oscillators.

What about multi timbral? Again this is theoretical but you should be
able to use the same technique to change the wave form, change the
filter type etc. I used the highly scientific method of turning knobs
and looking at the plateaus in AN1x edit to figure out the parameter
values. After I test it, I'll post the values that change those
parameters.

If you use a 2 bar pattern you can get 12 steps per 8th note allowing
you to become real anal and draw in pitch and filter envelopes.

I'm working 12 hour days, training for my blackbelt, etc, so it might
be a while before I can post any patches or let you know how this
works. Besides, it's my wife's computer and she's playing solitaire
24/7. If you're nuts enough to try this let me know how it works.
