I use a combination of things some of which is easier to get ahold of
than others:

Arp Sequencer
Wiard Sequantizer
TR707->simmons TM1 trigger to midi convertor
Doepfer MAQ16/3 (recently sold)
Kenton Pro2 midi CV box being run from:
MMT8, Q80, and the occasional PC program.
Sometimes if I'm feeling frisky I trick the Doepfer custom A100 mixer
modules into acting like a sequencer with the A160/161 by patching 'em
all up in a weird way. Voila! Instant four note analog sequencer! 

If I were to start from scratch and a PC was a possibility I'd get a
kenton Pro2000 or similar midi-CV box, an MSQ100, and a copy of Jim
Johnson's Seq303 program for windows. Best damn Analog sequencer I've
ever seen IMO. The MSQ100 goes for $100 and will give you midi in/2 outs
and din sync in/out for any application you'd want. The Kenton has a
trigger out to sync something like a Pro One or Sh101, as well as the
CV/gate and a few other assignable outs. This is a very flexible setup.

I don't know about the talent part but I usually multitrack everythying
anyway. I don't like computers :)
