RE: [analogue-sequencer] Chords on P3

2008-05-07 by Hans Greuber

To me is the only feature to  have the ultimate minimal machine and  say bye to computers forever.


If there only a remaining code , If Colin agree it coul be a last update for us,lovers of that feature sacrifing all upcoming ones leaving
other people right to choose delay etc.


I could  firm rigt now, I don´t need any other feature that chord mode. We five could even pay Colin for his effort to achieve that,agree?

It just come to my mind early house and G force,Robert Hood records and I´ll it again with just a P3!

Hans
