Analogue-sequencer

I very much agree with Rory. The whole point of having CV is to work 
with analogue. A sequencer in a analaogue modular system is potentially 
not just a controller or computer substitute but an intergrated part of 
the system. I need to be able to modulate the digital cirklon from 
analogue as well as to modulate analogue from digital - 4 inputs is the 
absolute minimum, 8 is better.

It looks like not everyone will use the inputs, I think they are only 
interesting to those of us with modulars, but then I don't think most 
multitimbral mnidi systh users  will ever use the analogue outputs 
either. But missing the inputs out would compromise an otherwise rather 
perfect concept - and I am sure it would lose cirklon sales to modular 
users too.
