I don't know, who entered this poll without a discussion in the list, but
my 2c:

I would appreciate this feature of course. But I think a second sequencer
module with only a minor change against the A155 is economical nonsense. No
producer will do that, and I am sure Doepfer won't do that too.

And a second hint. I don't know the exact schematics of the A155, but
usually the VC-switch between forward/backward is a very easy thing.
Perhaps only an additional input has to be added; perhaps additionally the
counter has to be replaced. But both mods are quite easy electronic work,
which can be done with material for 5 EUR and everyone who can distinguish
the end from the tip of a soldering iron should be able to do this.

Adding a random clock is something completely different. It could be
realized by a Sample&Hold Module and after that an simple 3Bit or 4Bit
AD-Converter. Perhaps this Simple ADC would be an interesting module.

If you want both, the assumingly easiest way should be a PIC with an
AD-Converter for the selection-CV.
