RE: [SynthModules] Sequencer Helper

2006-01-14 by rdrake

M,

not sure what you mean by "combining", but yes... i take th output of one row of my milton into one input of my switch (switch set to 2 steps), second row to the second input, and trigger the switch with step one of the sequencer... voila, 32 step sequence.  i'd need another switch to do the gates...
