it would be cool to see a blue faced production version of the 16 step 
one on Grant's DIy page.....

>I do tend to assume that everybody knows about the Wiard's strengths but if I think about it, I guess that's kinda absurd really.... (why would they be reading if they already knew everything... right???) after all, this is the first place I look for new things to stuff in the muzzle of my patchcord blunderbuss!
>  I think the Sequantizer is very strong. Before I owned any Wiard gadgets I asked GR for some suggestions. He knew my rig and recommended the sequantizer. I already had an Arp sequencer and a TKB and a 32-channel MIDI-to-CV/gate. I was aghast! The LAST thing I felt I needed was another damn sequencer and only 8-steps.... ya gotta be kidding! But I was wrong (again)
>  The permutation range from the CV controlled 'select' is a powerful stuff. When the Sequantizer is clocked at audio speeds is becomes a CV waveform modulator. Hitting the reset with a pulsewave tuned to NEARLY the same frequency creates a wicked 'ultra-hard-sync'. At slower speeds this can be used a varying complex envelope.
>  A lot of the features look un-glamorous but are very musical. I use the octave shift all the time. The step-selectable glide is another feature that breathes life into sequences without having to patch-in 4 other modules. One feature that I ho-hummed at, turned out to be something I use ALL the time. With the sequencer sitting still, (unclocked) you can use the select knob to step & stop through each step. I know it doesn't sound like anything of monumental consequence but it makes creating & testing (creating-testing, creating-testing, & on & on) a sequence SO CONVENIENT. It just seems to have been designed by someone who had actually programmed a LOT of sequeneces on an analog himself
>   The saying goes... It's not how many steps you have, it's how you USE 'em! For my money, the sequantizer yields way more bang for the step that it looks like at first glance.
