First off, good point Ken about a separate MOTM S&H module.
I think a few of these ASRs would be great fun! Don't forget that two or
more could be chained together for even longer "sequences". Think of the
fun you could have with two ASRs and two UEGs. You could set one up UEG for
8 stages and the other for say 3, both clocked by the same LFO. The LFO
would also clock one ASR, while the trig-out of the 3-stage UEG would clock
other ASR (∗). The signal-out of the 8-stage UEG goes into both ASRs, which
would drive VCOs. Way cool evolving rhythmic chords... add a little
reverb... think Robert Rich/Steve Roach!
Hmm...sounds like a Rhythm Wheel?! ;)

(∗) Caveat: I don't have a UEG yet, so I'm not sure if it will put out a
trig at the end of sequences shorter than 8 stages. I was just looking to
use it as a divide-by-3 pulse divider here and would prefer the use of an
actual pulse divider module. nudge..nudge.. :)
