Hello'

Yes there is an element of interest in a simple gate sequencer, simple being
the operative. I have not in deed used a sequencer in finality through
progression, ever as a gate based instrument, my post fundamental is to
incorporate 'step by step' (non-pertaining sequence time based "step by
step") addition of elements toward the post existence of a complete and rich
in character sound.

SCHALTWERK - A GREAT SEQUENCER. Lets move forward...

hi floria,
your ideas are very,very interesting!! i would go for
version 2,but i think both versions would be nice to
have,also...very nice ideas for a new module...do you
think it's time to create a new poll about it
i always wanted a shaltwerk kind of module integrated
in the a100 system...i hope dieter finds your idea
nice too...
