Analogue-sequencer

I'm just sorta in the middle of writing an article that basically
whinges about all the cool stuff we lost when we moved from CV/Gate
sequencing. Well, it passes the time.

Anyway, one of the things I really enjoy with my twin ARP sequencers
is mixing their outputs and the running the result through a voltage
quantiser. By having sequences that are different lengths/clock
division, you can get these wonderful patterns that evolve in a
fascinating way. OK, you get wrong notes too unless you consider every
possible addition that might happen...

I was wondering whether it might be possible, one day, when you're
like, not busy*, to have a special P3 MIDI Channel definition called,
oh, "MonoMix" so that any tracks set to this knew that only one note
should be produced, no matter how many P3 tracks were set to the same
MIDI channel. Adding the MIDI notes would then be possible using some
maths but also other mathematical functions and processes could be
performed. I know it's the kind of thing that MIDI really isn't good
at. I mean, adding two voltages is easy but try adding two MIDI
events. 

Time to invent some kind of clever external controller/processor box
maybe?

OK, I'm on the shortbread again, waiting to drool over Carrie-Anne
Moss...
