Analogue-sequencer

gary's mention of the buchla, & the recent passing of dr robert, who
was at least closely associated with the birth of the electronic
hardware sequencer.... has reminded me.... by way of a conversational
aside to take colin's mind off of our wishlists for ten minutes....
ahem.
colin- you've mentioned some of your own hardware collection at
various points during the life of the list. but what I really want to
read about is what your infuences were in coming up with the
first-pass feature set for the p3. we can all read about maqs &
notrons & arps & 960's & 104's & mmt8's & so forth. but which ones did
you actually use, or at least study, whilst engineering the p3? & what
steered you down the route of building your own?
I'll be in my studio again this weekend & updating the p3 that lives
there. the other one will have to wait until I'm next in manchester,
but the *.mid version will be useful for that, as I should be able to
run it in my datafiler....
