speaking of trig seq's...(florian's ideas look great, btw)
there's something i've been trying to work out how to do lately 
and i wonder if any existing sequencers or groups of modules 
are capable of doing it.  

say, for a trig seq w 2 or more rows.. can one row be, for lack of a 
better word,  'slaved' to another so the loop cycle time of each 
row is the same length despite each row having different 
numbers of steps?  

i guess one way to do it would be to have a seq that derives its 
step tempo by  CYCLING once per trigger  rather than STEPPING 
once per trigger.  so to get your beat divisions each row would 
need a simple clock divider to determine step duration within 
that cycle, and ideally could be automatically calculated by the # 
of steps in that row which are 'on', or by the # of steps between 
the first/last 'on' trigger for that row. 

that way you could have syncopated 1/2 note triplets under a 
4beat and even rest on the 2 of the triplet row.  (this 3 against 2 
example can actually be done already on a single a155 using 2 
rows w 6 steps each, accenting the 1&4 on one row and the 1, 3, 
5  on the other, but anything requiring more complicated 
subdivisions is impossible).  

i think this would be a great 'mode' for a trig seq if nothing else.

also, now that i think about it, i guess what i'm really wishing for 
is a clock divider that can deal with divisions beyond the straight 
2, 4, 8, 16, etc.  

if regelwerk or schaltwerk can do this, i want one! 

rhythmically challenged,
