Analogue-sequencer

I've been wondering about scenarios for recording with a P3 (you know,
the one I'm going to buy fairly soon so that I know what I'm talking
about) together with a computer sequencer (perhaps I should say, MIDI
multitrack recorder). Since the P3 has multiple ganged MIDI outs, then
one could put the P3 downstream from the computer (so that it takes
sync), with P3 MIDI outs to slave modules, but with one P3 MIDI out
back into the computer in case one wants to record the post-P3
patterns.

But anyway, back to the original question. The Oberheim Perf/X boxes
are so buggy and crash-prone that something chaotic is going to happen
no matter how things are connected up, but I'm not sure I see a lot of
point to wiring two algorithmic note generators in series, especially
since they do similar things, and since they both take a few notes in
and put lots of notes out. I think it would make more sense to run
them in parallel, perhaps upstream from a MIDI merger.
