Analogue-sequencer

My number interface requests for the P4:

- A big screen that allows you to see all values within a line
- endless rotary encoders
- dedicated pattern selectors and mute buttons

dedicated CV + gate outs is a brilliant idea.  Just one extra request:
the ability to separately specify CV and gate for each line so you can
get legato effects on old analogue gear (of course this isn't in the
MIDI protocol so it would only apply to the analogue outs, although I
suppose you can fake it with pitch bends ...)

P4 is going to blow everything else out of the water!

normal humans can understand, including a bigger display, and I can
sequence modules, midi controlled fx, a drum synth, a modular and my
moogermooger pedals all from the same box...  (16 or 32 tracks?) I
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...

QWERTY keyboard, this is a heck of a lot nicer than scrolling around
the alphabet to keep everything labelled up... I wish EVERY synth and
module had this
