Analogue-sequencer

Thank you very much guyz (and of course to the P3 father, Collin) for 
your feedbacks. So the P4 would arrive "soon" depending many factors. 

Maybe a P4 wish list might be needed if not done already to collect 
all users comments (the only comment I can give as a non user 
is "keep it simple" and user friendly). 

On my side I will go for the cyclus 3 or the monophonique future 
retro revolution r2 (which has also a mono synth that might be a good 
addition comparing the price difference...) and the doepfer which is 
certainly the most sophisticated  (expect the P3 of course). 
I think the P3 second hand price is not fair (even I'm sure it's a 
great sequencer)and it's like the stock market completely artificial 
due to his rareness...

hope the P4 rumor will break this as well....
thanks !

imagine recording all this output as midi and audio to my MPC4000 or 
Ableton Live and then constructing the actual songs there. And I 
guess, plus something like usb or a SD card to back everything up, 
wow...

the alphabet to keep everything labelled up... I wish EVERY synth and 
module had this
