MOTM

Hi group,

I have my own opinion on this subject, but I wanted to get your feedback
before I wrap things up.

The UEG can operate as a step sequencer, and Robert Rich noticed a problem
at NAMM that I'm in the process of fixing. As a related matter, I'm thinking
about the implementation of the sequencer levels.

It currently works like this: The seven levels control the "level" of each
stage, but since there is no level 8 (level 8 is zero in all other aspects
of this module), the UEG goes to zero during stage 8. This may or may not be
a problem. Let's say the UEG is controlling the pitch of a VCO. If the VCO
has it's bottom pitch tuned to zero volts (by using the VCO's coarse and
fine controls) then at least one of the sequence values must be that pitch.
(You could tune others to that as well, but at least stage 8 MUST be that
pitch.)

The other way to implement this is to use the TIME pots for pitch only when
in sequencer mode. It would allow all 8 to be adjusted instead of seven,
which is slightly more flexible, but it is not intuitive at all.

You can actually get 8 pitches either way, but in the first way you have to
adjust the bottom on with the oscillator, and the second way you can do it
from the UEG.

What do you think???
