Re: a MUST new sequencer feature!!!

2003-01-31 by Mind Mechanic <machanic@eecs.tufts.edu>

Although I certainly wouldn't call that a "must-have" feature, I 
agree that it would be VERY interesting/fun to play with.

  On that same note, one feature that the MD lacks is a "randomize" 
function.  I often use randomizers when I'm in a rut.  Helps a lot... 
It would be cool to see both randomize pattern and randomize 
currently selected machine!  That would be a great way to discover 
new and different sounds...
