hmm sounds very interesting..

wish i had a 147 to try this. 
what happens when you retrig the 147 with a divided-down midi 
clock that's heavily attenuated?   or to somehow 'override'  the 
retrig periodically w ADSR cv?  (a job for 166?) or perhaps 
mutate the divided-down clock signal somehow to make it hard 
for the 147 to be retrig'd consistently, but still within adequate 
relation to tempo, if somewhat random..  there might be a 
combination w just enough tempo info and conflicting length info 
to keep things half on/off track.  

i imagine that if you had true sync, the step length control values 
from the 155 might get stale once quantized.  (that is, if it's even 
possible).  but that's better than not having step length control at 
all.  i'm having a tough time getting my head around a patch that 
allows this 155>147>155 loop within a tempo grid.

which reminds me..i often wish for a way to catch or 
record-and-loop odd/quasi-random cv control signal cycles 
within patches such as these.  many times during a 
semi-random response from the 155, the perfect rhythmic 
phrase comes out for a few cycles but is just too irregular overall 
so it gets recorded and edited later as audio.  i wonder if it's 
possible to make something like a cv 'repeater'  (you know, like 
that electrix thingy)  to run on the output of the 155 (or whatever) 
so we can more easily break/destroy the 16th note grid and stay 
in sync.

with all this automatic bpm, self-looping audio software out 
there..i can't help but fantasize about something that can loop 
record and regenerate cv rather than audio.

but back to the subject, very interested in joe's idea here.
