hello bill,

thanks for your nice words :-)

i often use two a155's together with an a154, two a150's
and an a156. this combination performs quite well.
sometimes i omit the a156 and use the bottom rows of
the a155's as switches, similar to the a152.

some simple applications for the a166 and a167:

you can use the a166 to control the trigger/gate signals
coming from the a155's. feed a gate signal from a keyboard
and a trigger row from the a155 into one section of the a166
and use the "and"-output to trigger an envelope.
this way the trigger sequence will only fire the envelope
when a key on the keyboard is pressed. replace the gate signal
from the keyboard with other gate signals ....
i'm sure you get the idea.

the a167 can also be used with the cv-rows.
compare the output of one row against other voltages
(from an envelope follower, lfo, another sequencer row....)
and use the derived gate-signal from the a167 to
trigger other modules or to advance switches/sequencers ...

there are really a lot of applications for the a16x modules
besides using them with an a155, but as usual for a modular,
there are too many to mention them here.

best wishes

ingo
