This is incorrect. A true analog sequencer such as the Milton, has
100% analog signal path, and its output is in fact an analog voltage
with infinite resolution, or at least the resolution of the windings
on the pot.
All you are doing with an analog step sequencer is using a bunch of
digital logic to connect a series of pots acting as voltage dividers
to the output. It can hold that voltage indefinitely - there are no
droop problems.

A Miniwave is an 8 bit ROM addressable via voltage control. There are
16 banks of 16 wavetables, and each wavetable is I think 256 bytes
long. You choose which of the 256 memory locations in a table is
connected to the output via a DAC by the input control voltage.
So this device has an 8 bit output resolution, and also has no droop
problems. Scanning the tables via various waveforms (saw, tri, reverse
saw) allows you to control the direction of playback as you mentioned.
Hope this helps clear things up!
