I think I&#8217;m going to reimplement that with pots instead of the resistor ladder, and maybe make it switchable between internal clock and external clock (so I could, say, sync it with the Arduino sequencer!) Going to have to figure out an enclosure &#8211; half not wanting to use another cigar box, but they&#8217;re so darn cheap ($1\/each)!<\/p>\n<p>Also also looking at slowly working on some &#8216;big boy&#8217; modules, though there are a LOT of design considerations I&#8217;d have to make (format, enclosure\/rack, etc.).
