Re: Whither TKB?

2003-11-05 by shm1400

What about a TKB that would cycle between the last two selected 
stages in whatever cycling mode is currently selected?  What if 
certain pads could be programmed to change other parameters, such as 
the cycling mode?  This would allow easy and intuitive "playing" of 
the sequencer and would go far beyond the Serge or Buchla designs 
and might solve some of the problems of real time interaction with a 
modular system.  

Would this kind of thing sell?  Is it technically feasible. (I am an 
almost total techno moron, so I have no idea of the obstacles to 
this kind of thing.)
