 note in the chord in real-time? I'm sure you have.<<

Yes, but I just press a key with a known value.  I sure won't be able to get 
the right note by turning a knob in realtime (even through a quantizer).  But 
my comment was about these small step sequencer's popularity in general, over 
something far more powerful.  There will always be one or two people that 
will need to turn a sequencer knob in realtime, but what about the other 99% 
who want an abitrary number of steps, individual gates per step, more than 
one CV per step and so on?  I'm just saying that it is available.  And I'm 
surprised that the price of used MC-4 / 8's haven't shot up like analog 
prices have.
