I was just trying to conjure up some idea of a way the sequencer could 
conceivably be used in conjunction with samples. But it's really of another 
era, there would be better ways. Have to doubt that caption.

I'm skeptical that PF ever used that gear, but I wouldn't be surprized to 
learn that they did , Even if they just tried it out. I seem to recall 
reading that Frank Zappa played around with a 101 too but the company never 
capitalized on that either. (Altho my recollection is that Zappa wasn't 
very complimentary of it....)
