Hey Moe,


I'd originally thought you could get a pretty good (if basic) sequencer happening in a 3U or 4U MOTM format. Now that I look at what you've shown us, I think a good sequencer would have to be bigger -- and you might as well go to 8U.

I really like the 8U version that you've got up there now -- looks very EMu, partly due to the silver panel. I do have a few questions about it.

It looks like the horizontal distance between the knobs is less than the MOTM standard? If so, it might be worth considering a smaller knob size.

Does the mode switch allow one to do anything that they couldn't accomplish with patch cords?

Why a PIC? Why not just use CMOS stuff? Then you might have to move the four bit counter out to a separate module, but that might allow for some interesting possibilities for sequencer usage.

Great work so far!
JB
