All, How'sabout instead of trying to make this all in one super duper MOAS/DoMOAS thing, go the SuperMoe route instead and make it a bunch of modules? (clock sources, sync interfaces, cv banks, gate banks, switchers, quantizers, etc...) I have a bunch of the small Concussor sequencer modules and being able to rig them up any way you want definitely makes it fun and ultra versatile. There are plenty of analog sequencers out there... lots with MIDI...pretty much anything you want is available if you look. Thats why the modular format is great! (as Dave B. and I have found out) You can make one module at a time, add different features onto your sequencer according to what your needs are at the time, and it's ultimately WAY more flexible... (plus Mr Bradley has a bunch of schemos laid out already) These modules could be badged not as SynthTech MOTM modules, but as SynthTech MOAS modules. (or just SuperMoe.. has a nice ring to it, and would bewilder everyone not on the list : )) Have points on the PCB's to normal a few connections between certain modules as you get them if you want, but use the switchcraft jacks switching tab to unlock the modularity when you insert a plug. I also think that having pattern memory on a sequencer designed for modular use doesn't make too much sense because as we all know, at least half of a sequences sound is the synth's patch and knob settings, which we can't put in memory and recall exactly, and B- most of us aren't putting on performances where we have to exactly repeat a sequence we did in an album or something like that... (Performing live should be live, no?) Not that I woudln't love pattern memory and the vacuum fluroescent display that comes along with it though!!!!! I'm just trying to give you guys some thoughts to much on for a nice lazy sunday : ) And I do understand that Paul is trying to reach out to a wider audience, one who wants a more traditional stand alone MOOG-960 type thing... I'm no exception to wanting this either, but for strictly modular sequencing madness, keep it modular imho. What does everyone think, especially you guys who do use sequencers for actual musical production? Anyone have any ideas here? Let it all hang out!!! Dave B., your input? ~Steve M
