Analogue-sequencer

colin,

would it be possible to include a feature then where you play in some  
notes into a memory buffer (i.e played.from an ext. keyboard)
and then insert notes from this buffer into sequentially every step  
activated? its a bit like the old roland MC sequencers have worked.
you play in a small melody, you create rhythm and lenght afterwords...

best,
henry
