Yet another sequencer ((edit: answered) question) thread

[Lysol]

I gave this schem a go on the breadboard as well, which I believe is basically the same principle for cascading them as seen in the 4017 manual.

However though, i'm still left with a similar problem. It will cycle through all 16 steps just fine, but I can't seem to find a configuration using the reset pins to have control over how many steps it cycles through.

Ultimately, I'm trying to get a 16 step sequencer that has the same toggles as seen in the "Little Gate."

a single 4051 will only get you 8 steps, but there are ways of cascading them.

For 2 muxes it is not very complicated and to do this you use 3 outputs of the binary counter
for the A,B,C inputs of both muxes and use another output of the counter to control the INH pin
which has to be inverted for 1 of the muxes.

I have a couple elementary questions, and at least is in reference to the cascading 4017s at the beginning:

- CV out is simply taking each output of the 4017, running it through a pot and diode, and connecting all of those, right?
- can you create a gate output by taking the CV output and ANDing it with the clock? Anything extra that needs to happen there?
- with the cascading 4017s, how do the CV outputs work? I understand that you can have two different outputs for each of the 8 steps, but how does the output work for the 16 step?

Thanks in advance!
