I assume the SuperSequencer program. I forgot I put that staircase
output in there. That's just the step number normalized to 5 volts
out. Step1=0 volts. StepN=5 volts. There's also an inverted
staircase output.
Try using the programmable gates to change the bank or wave inputs on
the MiniWave. Run them through an attenuator to set the level. It
will switch between wave/bank0 and some other wave/bank depending
upon the attenuator setting.
Just plug the MIDI output to another synth. Program each step to a
different instrument (e.g. program change). Run that in parallel with
your other VCOs.
Use the programmable gates to drive the clock FM. You can create a
swing 'feel' to your sequence. I like to set the programmable gates
to every other step ("AA" or "55"). Or I'll set the gate for the
second half of the sequence to speed up that portion.
