Subject: RE: [motm] UEG question

From: David Bivins <dbivins@...>
Date: 2001-01-26

Then I would ∗love∗ to see, when in sequencer mode, the time pots to control
pitch. Hey, why not? :)

And, I would order one ;) Seriously, though, it's a great feature if you
have a separate trigger source such as a TR-606 or MIDI controlled (e.g.
Expressionist); at least ∗I∗ like working that way.

David.
