Greetings! Analogue...?

2005-05-19 by acousmatique

Hi all,
With my garage studio starting to come together, I finally begin to persue hardware 
sequencers! I have been doing my sequencing with a lot of different proggiez, most of 
them a bit on the involved side: KCS/Omega on my Atari, and on my old macs mostly Max 
patches and Numerology, as well as OpenMusic, HMSL, and others. The timing is not too 
bad, fine for most music, but I like my beats on the fast and dense side with multiple 
meters and various tunings, etc, etc. My computers (and MIDI!) don't always keep up with 
this kind of thing. Lately it has been occurring to me that I need a real-time dedicated 
sequencer or several to tighten things up a bit. I have built a few analog sequencers and 
am currently trying to finish those and build quantizers.

I love analog(ue!), but I do have some great digital synths here, like my fave TX816. Lately 
I have been thinking along the lines of hybrid circuits, analog sound bit with computer 
controlled switching and patch memory. Too bad I am not very good at designing 
electronics yet!

I only recently heard of Colin's P3 project, and as it is, I think it looks and sounds great, a 
fine instrument. One thing I am wondering about, how is the P3 "analogue"? Can one add 
CV outputs, or is it just that the P3 resembles an analogue sequencer? I have analog and 
digital gear here, so naturally I would not complain if I could output MIDI and CVs. From 
what I have read, though, is this not a MIDI sequencer? I want CVs, but even so, the P3 is 
great just the same. Since the P3 appears to be so tight, it deserves better than MIDI 
timing, I'd rather use it than a CSQ600, MC4 or such thing. 

Much awe and respect for the work (and play) that has gone into this,
CJ
