Re: Thoughts on gate & trigger processing modules

   Being a sequencer fanatic, it is only natural that I tend to pay
 attention to ways to create gates and triggers.  I'm already tinkering
 with dividing pulses, but was interested in what folks thought about...
 
   ...a pre-loadable gate/trig shift register with cascadable input and
 output, as well as a voltage-controlled shifter clock with initial rate
 knob.  Switches select the desired pre-loaded register states; LEDs show
 the current output states.  Not a complete analog sequencer chain, but
 quite good at complex trigger chains.
 
   ...a N/M rate multipler.  Using a fast PLL, should be able to settle
 within one or two input cycles.  Would provide elusive rates like 5/3, etc
 with each output pulse evenly spaced.  Could probably voltage-control N
 and M.

scott,
this sounds like a worthwhile project. psuedo-random trigger generation would 
be very useful to me. my main things are algorithmic ( computer "algorithmic 
composition" programs drive synthesizer and process automation where i need 
several/many uncorrelated random voltages and triggers. please keep us 
informed.....
best,
dave
