If the decimal points are going to indicate gate activity for each
channel, I assume the actual digits will indicate the note playing?
(Obviously only when the UI is "idle" - as in, user is not actively
editing some parameter in a menu.) That would be pretty cool :)


Someone asked about the possibility of stacking functions onto a
single TRS jack in order to get certain functions (clocks and whatnot)
onto dedicated jacks. As long as there isn't some electrical reason
not to dot this (not good to short an unused output or whatever) - it
seems like a neat idea. So - if it were note and velocity on the same
jack, ideally the note CV would be on the tip and velocity on the ring
- that way if you didn't care about the velocity signal (possible) you
could just use a regular TS patch cable. And if you want both, you
could use a TRS "Y" cable.
