Doepfer

I think this is a great discussion, and I like the idea of a 
modular sequencer system.

I don't have anything to add on the clocking/addressing/run mode 
issues, but here's a few random observations.

I interpreted Dieters message to mean that a new A154?? sequencer 
would be based on the current A155 panel, with the 
ability for a use to upgrade their A155 to the new circuits. I can 
think of pros and cons to this approach (i.e. the "curse of 
compatibility"), but I tend to think the pros would outweigh the cons.

Regarding midi, I think this should be handled in a separate 
CV/Gate-to-midi convertor module, possibly multichannel. This would 
eliminate the risk that midi considerations would end up driving the 
design.

I can think of some modules on the back end - especially a gate 
length/delay module. Basically what the A162 would be in this 
environment, with clock and trigger inputs, voltage-controlled delay 
time, and voltage-controlled note (gate) length (quantized to 1/16, 
1/8, dotted, triplets etc.)

I'd also like a random trigger module, with clock and sequenced CV 
inputs. It would randomly output a trigger on a clock pulse depending 
on the value of the CV (low CV - low probability, high CV - high 
probability, normalized to the sequencers standard CV voltage range).
