>>my naive $.02 on the sequencer thing.
i vote for the 'modular sequencer' idea where one starts first with, say a 
basic 1x8 module which then interfaces to.... (purchase #2) some kind of 
master brain module for the sequencer modules(a 1u or 2u module with 
functions for the daughter modules). would it actually be possible to buy 
as many sequencer modules as one liked ?<<

I have been totally baffled by all the interest in simple analog step 
sequencers in the recent years.  People want 7 steps instead of 8, some want 
skip/rest switches (like Polyfusion), some want to be able to link sequencers 
to expand beyond 8 or 16 steps, and a million other things.  You can have all 
of those things and more.  You can have up to 12,500 event storage, 8 control 
voltages, 4 gates and 4 triggers per step, real-time cv/gate entry, step-time 
cv/gate entry, numerical entry, ext clockable, voltage controlled sequencer 
rate, and so on.  It's called the Roland MC-4.  Even when it was mentioned 
that Rogue music still had some new units at only $400 I didn't see hordes of 
people bang down their door to grab that great deal.  What's wrong with 
everybody?
