Gary-

Well, you kind of lost me on that description. But,
then, it has been a while.

In '72 I had a big Arp modular system, a 2600, even an
Arp "Soloist" which I heavily modified. Add an
Echoplex, mixer and some guitar distortion pedals and
you've got the seeds for techno.

The sequencer was the Arp 10-step/3-bank module.
Sometimes I used a sample and hold module to pick
notes from a rapidly spinning sequence output to
randomize the note order while controlling the actual
pitch sets.

Hey, we veterans of the synth revolution have the
luxury of watching all this stuff evolve and get
twisted into new forms. Fabulous.

Anyone who's interested can try to find my first solo
album "Cosmic Furnace" on Atlantic Records from 1973.

Regards-
-Roger
