a) well, it is a very *simple* CV recorder

b) the memory is 16K (max) samples. So, if you are playing a 120BPM S&H 
sequence (2Hz), that is 8192 seconds or ~2hrs :)

c) I suppose you could record audio up to ~250Hz if you sample at 1Khz 
(there are no anti-aliasing filters per se in there, no output decimation, 
either like on the Cloud Generator). The samples are 14-bit, so the 
amplitude quantizing error would be quite good. I image the output would be 
quite 'noisy', but possibly interesting.

d) something I hadn't really thought of: you could take any CV-generating 
keyboard (like a SH-101) or even the output of a MIDI-CV, and record 16K 
'notes' into it. Of course, you don't *have* to record all of the memory, I 
could put a EOF marker in the One-Shot mode so that if you wanted to record 
say 16 notes, and then Loop them, it could be done.

But again, the intent is a small and *simple* record/playback system. I 
think it will be fun to record at 'X' sample rate, and play back at 'Y' 
while playing around with the tap lengths.

Speaking to the taps: I think the best musical use is to have the knob be 0, 
1, 2, 3..8, then have larger jumps. Having 1-8 will allow nice poly-rhythms 
to be set up, especially if you use 2 of these.
