John,

Welcome to the group.

I'm not sure, but I don't think the MAQ works this way.  It has 'one-shot' 
mode, which plays the sequence through when triggered with a midi note (I'm 
pretty sure that's how it works, I don't use one shot) but not one note at a 
time, which I think is what you want to do.

Have you got the A-155 sequencer?  That would allow for note-by-note advance 
using the STEP IN socket.  You would need some sort of MIDI/gate convertor, 
or an extra audio out from a sampler, etc,  and other modules to create a 
gate signal (A-119).  Of course, this would not be best if you want to 
sequence a MIDI module.....  If that is the case, make the sequencer you 
want in REAKTOR!

If you have tips or tricks for using the MAQ, feel free to share.  I love 
mine (2) but there are still things I wish they could do that don't seem 
possible.
For example:  no shuffle!   What I do for this is to use just the CV out of 
MAQ to the VCO, and then use a shuffled trigger pattern from a drum machine. 
  It requires some organization if you want to recall anything down the 
road.  I personally use the IMPULSE voice from the MachineDrum, but Rim Trig 
out on a TR-707 should work.  Alternatively, try the sampler out to A-119 
again, but this might not be as tight.

You may also get a result by using the timing function on row 2 to mix up 
the rhythm of row one.  I know this would not be the same as making up the 
rhythm as you go, but it can get pretty complex.

Anyway, good luck.
