Analogue-sequencer

These are excellent points. You've definitely hit on what I have in mind for this setup. I still may wimp out and get something else instead, but having a real analog modular controlled by a P3 (and also, from time to time, by Numerology), sounds too good to be true.

By the way, can you save patches on a Doepfer Modular? (smiley deliberately omitted)
