I agree 100% on good sliders!

And if this is going to be a "step sequencer" interface, I'd like to
mention:

* a Gate Time knob
* a on/off switch for each step (could be "skip"!)
* ability to set step length (like Sys700 sequencer)

Actually, what would really be cool would be a slider, a knob and a
on/off switch (or two) for each step.  That would allow for a LOT of
flexability for the user, and flexability is the PSIM's middle name :)

Maybe make them 8 step modules that can be cascaded together for 16
steps?

<hal> My mind is going... </hal mode>

I wanted to comment publicly on this...

I picked Sliders, but I wanted to add a caveat.

The reason I like sliders is because I can look at the panel and 
"see/hear/feel" what the event/sequence will be. _BUT_ I would only
wants 
sliders if they're smoooooooooooth. Most sliders at a reasonable cost
feel 
a lot more gritty than their comparably priced rotary cousins.

So if the poll is meant to gather info for an upcoming module/interface,

then please spend the bucks and pass on the cost for good feeling
controls.


Thanks Brice!

OMG! If Brice wants to let out what he's looking at doing, and if this 
happens to be a step sequencer, then... There's gonna be a FLOOD of email 
from me!

I have a decent arsenal of step sequencers, but none that are CV modules 
(hence my having 10 channels of MIDI->CV available) and each one is lacking 
something that I'd like to see.

C'mon Dood! Open the flood gates!
