I would not wish to take any sales away from Dieter because his stuff is fabulous, but there are of course many others out there following in his footsteps and making modules. For a series of fully "modularised" sequencer modules (!) take a look at the 'S' series from www.ladik.eu which is a system with masses of potential to make sequencer configurations in many different ways.
