Excellent :)

OK :) I'm thinking even though a 700 or perhaps an 850 could be used as a
work around, that would make a nice addition. Just so the rest of the list
doesn't think I'm making up useless features, here are some examples:
Envelopes could play short bursts of notes.
By entering a scale as the "sequence", a percussion pad generating short
spikes of voltage could be used to play each note depending on how hard it
was hit. Similarly, a ribbon controller or touch keyboard that only
outputs a voltage when touched could also be used. In both of these
examples, the accuracy of the time quantizing can be varied by the speed of
the clock, including a very fast clock, and modulating that clock creates
"groove" quantizing.
When controlled by an LFO, rests can be added by offsetting its output with
a negative voltage from an 800 or some other source.
The "no gate" signal can be used with other functions such as an inverter
to reset LFO's and trigger envelopes or other events. By re-triggering the
voltage signal determining the step, the sequence can be looped, as well as
reset by a negative voltage. Then that loop can be altered my modulating
that voltage or the other CV input.
Yet, in all these examples, the output remains "musical" as it quantized in
both pitch and time, and can be easily synced to other events.
