Speaking of sequencer helpers - shouldn't it be absolutely
straightforward to create a sequential switch for combining multiple
row outputs of a sequencer? Has anyone done this?

turning a sequencer knob can change that step from an E2 note of
duration 1 to a G3 note of duration 4.

first half of the knob range can be all duration 1 and the second half
all duration 2, or they could totally scattered and different.  Same
for the notes.  Mixing them up will give you new suprises everytime
you alter a step.

or 21 or ???) will give you all sorts of poly-rhythmic frippy stuff.
