I just got the above from jon schatz on this list (thx Jon, it arrived
safely- and extraordinarily well packaged!!!) I´m  having alot of fun
with it, specially the er... top half, having random octave jumps
popping up in my sequences is fantastic, and lots of psuedo s&h filter
weirdness. But Im a bit stumped as to what the second half actually
does (well I CAN read, so I know what it does) but whats it for???
Same goes for the add on digital random voltages section. Whats it
for? I´m using it to trigger gates, which is a bit interesting, but
not very, maybe if I get a mixer to add these together and/or invert
them for off beats or or or...
Can people with this module offer up some patches and... well...
concepts, dont need precise wirings, just ideas...

The A149 modules are really good for introducing varying degrees of 
random bevahior in to large, multi-voiced, self-running patches.

Examples:

You can use the A149-1 to control the "last step" feature of that 154 
sequence controller.  On every sequence completion, the CV value from 
the A149-1 changes, which in turn controls the sequence length.  But 
this is different than a "random" sequence. The melodic idea never 
changes, only the number of notes that are played.  That is one way of 
introducing compositional variation through uncertainty.  

At the same time you use the A149-2 to trigger one shot sequences for 
texture and ambiance.  Again, it is all controlled in one sense, but 
the introduction of variation gives it an organic feel.

And so on...

Hello,

I very often use the 149-2 outs in combination with the A166... like putting 1, 2 or 3 of 
them in nd/or mixed with other triggers/rectangle pulse from LFO's... and then use the 
outs of the A166 to trigger an enveloppe... to create more or less unpredictable/random 
time events...

I rememberebd also putting then into a mixer, or even two miwers sometimes, does nice 
weird random sequences too...

best,

Alexandre
