hell yeah, i am absolutely excited!! :)

First of all, in terms of a "hybrid" solution, I say use a lot of MIDI->CV modules  - i.e. many CV i/o's per-MIDI cable.. until you get a 'full solution' this will at least let you sequence with your existing setup.  If you have a good MIDI/CV module in mind, get two of them.

That's a pure "MIDI" solution to the thing, but maybe you don't want to do that?

So .. Really Purely analog sequencing is really all about:

Yup.  To get, say, 4 independent analog 8/16-step sequencers (so you can use a sequencer bank for different sections of the song) with Gate'd SYNC, and CV outs-per-step for triggering, a time divisor knob pair, and so on == a lot of money, purely analog, methinks.
