Ken... What exactly does this mean?
(How is it different from an ASR)?

I almost tried to build the Serge Analog Shift Register, but
there's
a part of the design that's a bit squirrely, (protection paths
between chips like ground planes - or something not completely
explained), and someone just posted that theirs didn't work after
attempting it. Seems it's basically a few Sample & Hold circuits
chained together with just the right amount of delay between
sections to allow each unit to "take" a sample from the previous
channel on a common clock pulse...

I especially would really dig it if your anticipated ASR board
design allowed the builder to determine - just how many
sections (channels) they wanted to gang on in series... (3, 4, 6,
or 8)
& (Two boards of 6 = 12 Channels and so on)...

Personally I'd want to make it sync-able to your sequencer.

I can foresee a lot of "Auto-compositional" patches in arabesque
patterns, using such a module. like inputting the "Martian Music"
or "Weird Arabian modal melodies" - from your Psycho LFO (with
portamento) into it - and handing each of 8 outputs to
eight-oscillators doing a "round-robin" version of the tune.
Of course the audio outputs of each of these oscillators could be
treated differently - and with some elaborate long envelopes (say
from a Universal event Generator) could create entire "works" of
music of their own bizarre & intricate logic - automatically.

I simply cannot *wait* to be doing this!

Best Wishes!
