AND NOW MY OPINION ,ABOUT THE A154 FEATURES:VC OF
FIRST AND LAST SEQUENCE STEP WOULD BE GREAT!!!(THE
MORE OPTIONS AND CONTROLS THE BETTER!). ABOUT THE FREE
RUNNING SEQUENCER CLOCK...WHY NOT .ABOUT THE 32
STEPS....IT MAY BE TOO MUCH TO HAVE 4 A155'S LINKED
TOGETHER......
PLEASE LIST MEMBERS,HAVE YOUR SAY!
BAKIS.
