Just for fun, I put together this mock-up of a 4-step sequencer module I came up with which I'm calling Chance Encounter. I say just for fun because I don't have the skills to make it (not at the moment at least).
The idea is that you use knobs A to D to set pitches and then you patch to the bottom 4 rows in the numbered section (1 to 4). These numbered columns are the steps of the sequence. Each socket in each column has equal probability of triggering, so if you wanted to make sure A definitely triggered on step 1 you'd have to fill all 4 sockets in column 1 with cables from A. If an empty socket is triggered, nothing is sent to output. So if A was patched twice into step 1, there'd be a 50% chance that A triggers and 50% chance that nothing triggers on that step.
CLK is clock input. IMPEL is used to force one row of the sockets to trigger; different CV ranges here would correspond to each row, so plugging a constant voltage that corresponds to the bottom-most row, for example, would force the sequencer to only trigger that row. Each step has its own output.
Another good name for this module would be the cable eater given how patch cable intensive it could be, lol. I have no clue if this is possible in such a small space, probably not.
Anyway, if you're DIY-challenged like me, have you ever daydreamed about fantasy modules?
