It's lovely that it can do it, though. Personally, I would not consider a 200e system without a 250e or 249e. I own the 249e. As a straight note sequencer on a $$$ per function basis, it even beats doepfer. To create a 4 row 24 stage sequencer with complete CV control of stage, direction, sequence length, etc with doepfer will cost you much more than a 249e. Now that is just the straight note sequencing. You have to consider all of the Arbitrary Function Generation features - consult the marf manual for details. On top of that you have all of the stage jumping and logic functions. Then you also have patch storage. > Short of the 255 module, I don't know how to achieve > slews on the 200e.

For the comparator, lets say you have an envelope that peaks at 10v and you want to send a pulse when it passes 7v. No problem. Set one side of the 249e to CV control of stages. Set the stage length to 10. Set stage 7 to send a pulse. Use the envelope as the CV for stage selection. Viola. I'm sure slew is possible. I highly doubt Mr.Buchla & Associates missed anything. You just have to reorganize your thinking to see. I was on the Yahoo Groups 200e list and read soem stuff that helped me to see the comparator patch. Matthew Matthew
