TB303 Sequencer

This has to be the most overlooked sections of the 303, yet it is what gave it so much character. It's an ace controller too. I remember hooking it up through CV to the SH101, it sends all the pitch slide information. Another thing on the TB303 sequencer was the tap button, which you could tap the sequence rhythm in without quantizing the note length, to get those real 'stabby' (gated) basslines. This was the stuff that made it so special, these features are nearly always overlooked in software.

Is this doable as a modular sequencer? It would make an essential addition to any modular setup

Here's the main board, but can't see any sign of a sequencer here

it is probably easier to just replicate the xoxbox sequencer and adapt it to modular world. the xoxbox seq is a lot more usable than the 303 one imo, they have really ironed out the annoying kinks.

Discussion of using just the sequencer of the XoXoX is being discussed at the moment on the AH list... I haven't followed it particularly, but people seem to be reckoning you could cut the main PCB (and perhaps front panel too) without too much trouble... I dunno really - check it out
