My bad :)

Is there a new spec?? The one at the website is dated 12/06/02 "Revision
5". I read that one, and for CV input modulation modes it lists:

1. None
2. Tempo
3. Gate Time
4. Cycle Mode
5. Sequence Length
6. Sequence Step (awesome, it's also a voltage sequencer!!)
7. Sequence Number
8. Multi-trigger

While that is very impressive and exciting list of funky features, it
doesn't include any pitch functions. While key modulation might be
impossible (how would it know??), transposition functions (shifting up or
down by a note, interval, octave) would be a powerful addition to its CV
modulation modes and perhaps the only way to create "new" notes via CV.

Also, is there a way to add a variation of the Sequence Step mode so that
it plays no note (no gate) if the voltage is zero??
