Paul,

The uSeq sounds very interesting and I know I will get at least one! The
question I have is why the limit of only 9 sequences of up to 99
steps? The 99 steps seems reasonable but the 9 sequences seems a bit
limiting since this is a digital device. 9 sequences makes a long gig a
bit tight and certainly doesn't allow for more historical storage (and
there doesn't appear to be any way to dump the sequences via MIDI). Is
this a limit of the EEPROM you are using? Would Flash memory with a
battery cost about the same and provide lots more storage (MBytes instead
of KBytes)?

Don't get me wrong, I know there is lots you can do with a single sequence
on this module but the limit seems low compared to other pattern-like
sequencers.
