Re: [analogue-sequencer] Re: Longer notes!

2006-12-08 by Hans Greuber

Hi People;

Ey this  Eric´s mode of stretching existing notes  and let forward existing 
notes is  mega cool!  ( And best for random  detroit techno non musicians as 
me )( I just want to retire my old 202 ) But still make sequences ala 
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Robert+Hood  .. master of the 202 guy and main 
influence to my music


Like spanish Rioja´s old red  wine?  I just bought some bottles for X-mas... 
from  http://www.elcoto.com/  Marques de Caceres..Coto... and Vega Sicilia.. 
http://www.vegasicilia.com/  http://www.marquesdecaceres.com/    Please 
choose one Mr. Fraser... ( wink)
