But I'm thinking of things the PSIM could do compared to the Serge TKB (a controller which has always attracted me). Now you'd need a keyboard to feed into the PSIM, but after that it seems you could mimic all the controller functions of a TKB, and you could save your settings in

New sequencer!

Hey - I just added my latest sequencer to my PSIM page. This one has 256 steps, each with CV note, secondary CV and # gates. The NEW feature is that you can break the 256 steps into 8 "chains" as you record them. Basically you: record a bunch of notes (chain 1) press START (ends
