Hi Dave, The Bridechamber panel is more or less laid out like the CGS Seq Switch. It adds a glide circuit before the outputs, which means a trace needs cutting. Each jack is normalled to 15V, so that the module works as a normal sequencer when no inputs are used. With the inputs

I've used quantizers on the ASR inputs. There is a slight DC offset that's a little different on each of the three outputs. But sometimes the results are quite acceptable: http://pugix.com/synth/chords/ I've got four quantizers now, but six ASR outputs! -Richard Brewster sasami@.
