Keep in mind that EVERY "analog" sequencer has a digital controller in it!
Whether it is based on a shift register or a counter, it's digital.
The difference between what we call "true analog" sequencers and digital
sequencers is in the voltage outputs. An analog sequencer switches between
true analog voltages with infinite resolution between their extremes. A
digital sequencer, whether analog style step based or pattern based, stores
an approximation of the voltage digitally, and turns it back into analog
output by sending it through a DAC. The issue then becomes one of
resolution, and if the pitch resolution is finer than the ear can detect,
there is not generally a practical reason to shy away.

Something
about having a digital controller in my analog modular just
bothers me. I know the digital solution will be less
expensive in the long run. But frankly, when has price
ever entered into the equation for MOTM stuff? The old days
of expecting most modules to cost around $100 are long gone.
Anybody else want something like this as a MOTM kit?
