Subject: RE: MOTM flood or dry ?

From: "Dave Bradley" <daveb@...

I vote for starting on the sequencer ASAP. The only thing I'm desperate for
is the SSM filter.

Keep in mind that desert storm will come anyway, since the sequencer design
is a BIG job. Personally, I'd rate its priority higher than the new VCO or
VCA, because we already have VCOs and VCAs. Historically, each and every
module delivered has been 6-8 weeks, and a VCO takes longer to get right. If
we ding Paul to death with this new module or that, he'll never get started.
In my business, we call it "death by feature creep". The MOTM system needs a
sequencer, and a kick butt one, to distinguish itself from the competition.
