Hi, Zoran. Sorry about the last post. I clicked on the wrong
button.

I don't really have any special patches so far other than the really
obvious ideas: I sometimes use an LFO to select the mode. Depending
on the LFO speed, the mode can change in a way unrelated to the
sequencer speed, or careful adjustment can make the rate of change
related to sequencer tempo. I also use the random modules to change
the mode, like the A-149-1 or the A-118. Its important to process
the control voltage in order to get the results you want.
One idea that is only slightly less obvious is combine two or more
control voltages in some way. For example, an LFO square wave
combined with an envelope will allow you to select between two modes
for a while, then two different modes as the envelope voltage
increases, etc. Feeding the sequencer clock to the 160 clock
divider and sending two or three steps to a mixer allows various
kinds of mode changes synchronized to the tempo of the sequencer, as
can clocking the A-149-1 with one of the outputs of the 160, etc.

When various kinds of mode selection are combine with changing the
first and last notes with various other control voltages, and maybe
even changing between the two rows of output voltages with the 150
VCS, you can get long non repeating sequences of 8 or 16
predetemined pitches or events that don't sound like they are coming
from a sequencer. Its just a matter of choosing the CV source,
adjusting the rate in various ways and processing the output to get
results that you like. Sorry if I don't have any particularly
astounding ideas.
