Just to continue the thread on uses of analog step sequencers, I rarely use a step sequencer to just play a series of notes. Instead I use an analog step sequencer to provide some "controlled randomness" in patches. The little demo of the MOTM-300 Linear FM on Paul's site: http://www.synthtech.com/motm/m300/linearfm.mp3 used a step sequencer that was advanced by the keyboard gate. This allowed me to "tune" the FM intervals on each note quickly with knobs so the intervals sounded good with what I was playing. A S&H in the same application would not allow me to get the intervals to work all the time. I have done the same thing with sequencers into VCFs too. So, a simple step sequencer can be used to cycle through a series of "tuned" CVs for at least a few applications...
