MOTM

Paul, any clue yet as to the # designation for the little seq? 

--Here's a few thoughts on this whole thread--
-I think sequencers will cause the most controversey with regards to 
feature set..   As we all now realize. : )   (Love these threads, so 
many great ideas!!)
-I also think that for a simple sequencer as this one, the idea isn't 
for musical production.  Perhaps simple arpeggiated lines (Tangerine 
Dream anyone?) but as someone pointed out, for actual musical scoring 
there are much better soultions available.  (Not that I wouldn't love 
having a whole wing of sequencer modules and having a go at some 
programmed SOB of my own..)
-So for a module like this we should perhaps focus our feature wishes 
less on "Musical production" things and more on "sound design/mangling" 
things.  Using simple sequencers like this (I have some Concussor 
super-simple 1x8 jobbies) as sound sources and modulation sources is 
great fun.  Running the clock rate up into audio range and doing all 
sorts of stuff with the reset and individual trig outs makes for great 
experimentation...  So what I'm trying to say is that there are many 
more uses for a sequencer than just controlling your oscs freq.
-Perhaps some of you out there with more "sound design" and modular 
experience in general than me can speak up with a few simple features 
aimed at making this MOTM XXX MiniSequencer a great "sysnthesis tool"
-Along this line of thought (synthesis), keeping it to just 8 steps and 
using the other knob row for another purpose instead of making it 16 
step might be better.  Hell, I think it would be better off if we could 
knock it down to half size and just 8 steps.  Smaller, cheaper, 
versatile.  We are waiting for DoMOAS for our bassline/musical pattern 
needs anyway right? (pattern memory, quantization, etc..)
-Small but open.  If this goes down in a SuperMoe/modualr fashion then 
we need it to be open for interconnection with other future module 
offerings.  Even if that required a PCB mounted socket to link modules 
so they could share clock and other signals without taking up valuable 
panel realestate.  But modular is the key word here so many or any 
normals at all might be kinda against the grain here.  Who knows.

Well, I know what I want.  I don't know what is feasible and whats not, 
but these are just some humble opinions of mine on the whole matter.  
The only thing I do know for sure is that however the thing turns out, 
it will be sick.  Paul always delivers the goods.

MOTM RULES!!!

(Thanks for the compliment yesterday Larry!!  I think variable gate 
length (voltage controlable..yeah!) would be a great, odd feature.)  
also the possibility of using (as in the Miniwave) rising voltage to 
clock it forward, falling, the opposite etc.. would be nice in addition 
to using clock pulses.  Maybe a clock in jack, with a switch to select  
trig mode or voltage mode.  This scheme is similar to how JH's Int. 
Scanner fades through the various inputs, correct?   allright enough 
from me...............
