Hi Paul,

Saw your sequencer in action at the blue monkey site, when will it be available for sale, what 
are the updates on this, as it looks pretty cool!

The prototype uses processors that are difficult to update code over MIDI. Also, 
after the '650,
I am 'retiring' work on using 8-bit processors and moving to 32-bit ARM 
processors. The cost has
dropped over the last 3 years so that a 32-bit processor, running at 60Mhz with 
128K of Flash is <$6.
The processors have 8 times the internal RAM memory (used for storage of flags, 
parameters, etc)
of 8051 type processors which makes the code *much easier* to write.

What I plan to do is redesign *just* the CPU card in the sequencer and have the 
code rewritten.
I already have front panel and the pc board with the 2 rows of switches (and 
these switches are REALLY
nice but $$$$). I even have the displays, high $$$ Grayhill optical encoder, 
custom knobs, and bezels. I will have
 the CPU card ready June 1st to give to the SW folks.

If anyone wants to investigate the CPU I'm using, here is a link:

What's the latest status of this?

Also, can someone here give me a quicky version of how this works? 
I'm used to the rows of knobs and am trying to figure out if this is
something that would work for me.

Thanks!

Ivan
