Re: OT a bit- tune key

>>The reason I bought it was mainly for tuning a real analogue 
sequencer I built to drive my modified Moog Rogue. I sold the Rogue 
for 40 quid in 1989 when I got my D-50. [oh dear...]<<

indeed. the rogue is a sleeper, moog-wise, because of the apparently-
cheap build, the missing hardware, switch functions combined & so on. 
back in 1995 or 1996, I knew a band called Tiger, who used a rogue 
exclusively for basslines. I modified the little beast to run osc2 an 
octave lower... I think I did some other stuff to it... put a proper 
mains socket & transformer in it (& this led to me taking my own 
rogue all the way to nijmegen without it's wall-wart because I 
thought I'd rememered to do mine aswell). so Tiger's rogue found 
itself, with their cult-success, being responsible for all manner of 
structural damage.
I think I paid £120 for mine, & £69 for the mg-1.
but I digress.
one of my favourite things is a step sequencer driving an analogue 
synth /without any quantisation/. I know, after the posts about key 
changing & microtuning, this is probably a bit counter-intuitive. but 
there's a connection. for instance, I write "analogue synth" patches 
for my emu boxes, using not just the user tuning tables but also 
quite a lot of random pitch modulation & note-number>pitch skewing. I 
am very attached to the sound of the yamaha cs30's in-built step 
sequencer, or the roland 104 driving pretty much anything. these 
things are like screwdrivers next to the precision lathe of the p3.

I'm probably in some sort of denial if I content that this has 
nothing to do with a sentimental attachment to the first published 
rumblings of the TD-owned 960s on "phaedra". probably.

part xpose on through-notes? that ought to do it. I think I might 
stop after this build.... :-)
