Yeah, I spent hours with that program on my old 4700. I've been wanting
to reimplement it for PC/MIDI. I just ordered an expressionist, so maybe
that will be a good reason to try and do it. I think I still have
the program listing.

I'll make .pdfs of it.  I found my casette tape of the program too, but
I don't think that would be terribly useful these days.

  After studying the article/code for the first time in 15 years, I can
say this:  easy to do with a Z8 microcontroller and other parts for
CV/gate muxing on a small board.  I have a couple other things to build
ahead of such a beast, but I'll keep the literature on the near shelf.
