thanks!! the original idea was to connect 6 patch-points to the centre pin of each pot, and other points to sync in/out and maybe the clone button - so that I could inject voltages from volca modular and/or my modified volcas (ua-cam.com/video/jpwa8cFfh9M/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/ejFq_BJE774/v-deo.html). then while I was polishing off the firmware, I had so much fun using the internal parameter-locking modulation that adding additional external modulation sources didn't seem important, so I never wired them up. I'm currently working on a eurorack version of the sequencer from this build with 3 polymetric sequence tracks for v/oct cv, gates and non- v/oct cv. prototype is getting close, finalising UX at the moment, but already sounds great with my dysphonia module!

Help 😢😢
Hi, have you included the mozzi library in your project? If not, get the most recent one from GitHub (github.com/sensorium/Mozzi)and make sure it is in your includes path.
