Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Another little feature I would like to see: another Trigger 
option: "MIDI advance". This would advance the sequencer one step 
every time it receives a MIDI "note on" message.

More specifically, receipt of a note on message would (a) trigger the 
envelopes, using the current sequencer step to get pitch, sequencer 
mod settings etc, then (b) advance the sequencer to the next step. 
Successive note on messages would step the sequencer through its 
whole sequence and back to the start as normal.

This was a common feature of the old analogue sequencers. It means 
you can set up a sequnce of (say) 5 pitches on the Evolver sequencer, 
then feed it (say) a 7-note rhythm pattern from a MIDI sequencer, to 
get an evolving rhythm/melody pattern which lasts (in this case) 35 
events before it repeats itself.

It's worth adding your voice to mine and asking Dave for this. I did
mention it again to him recently in Frankfurt but I suspect without
more people wanting it, it might not happen.
