Well - I've decided it's time to add an modular sequencer to my MOTM
system. I made this decision once before and then put it off, but I
can't wait any longer; I want some sequencing madness in my life!!

I have been building and playing with MOTM modules for the past 6 years
or so, but I do not have much personal experience with sequencers. I've
read about various sequencer designs, looked at what is available on the
market, etc. My major concerns would be functionality, modularity,
capabilities for expansion, and of course it must look cool (but that
should be automatic). :)

I think it would be very rewarding and a good learning experience to
design and build a sequencer from scratch. Having said that, if I had
access to the PCBs of a powerful sequencer, I may just go in that
direction. If I do end up designing something, I would be happy to
share it with the list.

A couple of features that I know I will want:
at least 3 channels of CV
up, down, up/down and random clock
CV selection of stage
8 stages minimum
gang-able stages for longer sequences
MOTM-format

There are a lot of good people on this list that have a lot of
experience. I would like to take advantage of this if I may and ask for
your opinions regarding the features that an analog modular sequencer
should possess, and also if you are aware of any kits or PCB sets for a
sequencer that you believe would fit the bill.

PS: I looked at Milton, but a) the pot board is too big and b) that list
looks dead.

Cheers!
