trudging on...

as ivve now spent almost a year doing this never ending sequencer project.. i reach a point where ive actaully been able to see the end.. this last sequencer is so encompassing to create, with so many interconnections. switches and just complexity that its daunting at times. today WASNT one. all cv channels, gate channels, and the slide channel are all now manufactured and connected. all digital line buffers are in and awaiting connection to the main switchers. the gate hold module is about 40 % done. ive uploaded pics of the way ime going to mount the super duper sweet dpdt push buttn latch switches im going to use for it. i found them for a buck a piece from a surplus supply place. they have a machanical status indication inside the button (which allows mw to see a series of gate holds together to know where they start and stop) i count ask for a better switch. they are THE SHIT! and they are double sided as well which really makes the assembly free-er. so these will be used to hold the gates and slur them between steps. (so envelpoes will tie together and open up like a 303 or funky slurs/legato portamento on the minimoog). a very nice little feature that really isnt too terrible amounts of work really.
its all relative.

well heres the pics.
