Analogue-sequencer

hi,
> I bought myself a MAM SQ16 in a fit of desperation a few weeks ago

i had a good hard look at this one myself, and a friend of mine has 
one; his comment was that it's good because it's an analog-style 
sequencer but that there's a lot to be improved. which will probably 
never happen as the unit's out of production and MAM have been bought 
up by Terratec by now. and of course it doesn't measure up to a P3..

with the gear i'm using at the moment the P3 is the ideal everything-
sequencer for me. if i could only have double the amount of 
tracks..and guess what should be on the way come 2004...:)
