Mmmmm....analog sequencers...
The Arp sequencer is still by far my favorite, it really nailed that
gate buss feature you described. It is so immediate and hands-on, yet
very flexible. It also has 2 voltage quantizers built in that can be
used for external duties. Although it is limited in steps, it
definitely has a lot of features that make up for this.
As far as modern sequencers go, the Analogue Solutions Oberkorn looks
to be interesting as it has 5 gate busses. It has analog addressing,
too, so you use voltage to jump to any step. I've never used one, but
it looks mighty nice.
The Mobius is cool... I like it because it has simultaneous V and Hz
outputs. It has that Roland 303 style programming which isn't as
immediate as grabbing a knob, but once you get your notes programmed in
it is pretty hands on for muting and un-muting steps, transposing, etc.
There is always the Serge TKB... like all the Serge stuff, quite
expensive but very nice.
I think the Signal Arts sequencer looks interesting:
http://home.eol.ca/~jeffry/satspecs.htmlThe Mk.2 version is about to ship... this adds a CV input. I just
ordered one and should have it in a week or 2, I can't comment on it
yet but it I have pretty high hopes. The bonus is that it doubles as a
3 channel midi-->CV converter while playing sequences through the midi
out.
Good luck.
