I think this is a matter that needs to be put to Bob Moog himself, because he credits both Scott and Buchla with inspiring his sequencer design. It may be that both are true in some fashion. The specific design of Buchla's control voltage sequencer modules is probably closer to Moog's later design than was Scott's early design. In any case it is certainly true that Scott beat Buchla to the punch by a few years. Unfortunately, he kept it a closely guarded secret. Buchla's sequencer was certainly the first one that received general exposure. BTW - I highly recommend Raymond Scott's wonderful book and CD set: 144 pages filled with articles, interviews, photos, drawings, schematics, and two CDs of Scott's music. http://www.RaymondScott.com -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
