Analogue systems

Thank you Sean,

That sounds like a good place to start...

As a matter of fact, the sequencer doesn't get that much use for the  
music I'm making, so the pots stay in one position for quite some  
time and the external
clock input socket isn't much used either.
So, I'll definitely take some time to check those in the first place !

Cheers,

Z.
