i gut the maq16/3 for 2 years and i gut a 16/4 DIY analog sequencer and
you just cant compere them.
i think that dopffer made a basicly wrong desighn of this unit,and i think
that its in the internal clock.
i made a small test and i patch a regular analog LFO as clock for the
analog sequencer
and compering it to the maq clock the analog sequencer,and then i heard
that the analog seq with the maq had sound bad allmost like the maq itself
sound
and dont get me wrong hear i know that analog sequencer is baisd on digital
hardwere (i built one) but i do think that control has a hard conection with
the audio,i would even say that the timbre in a modular system is mostly
synthsis
by control moduls vco's, seq,envelops for aditive... you know (-
i talked to a frend of mine about the motm seq and he said why not makeing
all this
digtal hybrid analog sequencer in to moduls and now i read about the emu
control panel,
its sounds like the best thing to have.
i liked the ide of a digital memory wich is clocked by an analog clock.
so i wish Paul would make somthing like this Emu control panel or a regular
8 step
analog sequencer or somthing like the tkb.
on the other hand a digital/analog sequencer with iduvidual clock in put for
each row could be great too.
Dave can you scane the Emu sequencer ?
thanx
