(of sequencer switch suggestion)

IMO run/skip/rest switches for each stage is THEE essential feature on
an analogue sequencer.  To explain, yr sequencer is laid out thusly:

row 1   O O O O O O O O 

row 2   O O O O O O O O

switch  I I I I I I I I

right?  (O represents knob, I represents 3-position switch (like on for
example motm410 for lfo selection) 

when the stage's switch is in the middle, the stage runs as normal,
switch it one way, and you get a rest, IE the sequencer doesn't output a
trigger, switch it the other way, and the sequencer skips to the next
stage. 

doing it this way means you only use 8 switches = $37.  Well worth it,
in fact, I'd put this over an internal clock in terms of importance.  I
believe the Moog modular sequencer did this, but many others, even
including serge's fancy sequencers don't implement it, yet I believe
it's not too difficult to implement.

You can hear what can be done with thios feature on T. Dream's "rubicon"
lp.  It's a good 'un!

that's my opinion, anyway, for those of you who give a ****  ;)

best etc
