Hi,
This is something I was thinking about and asking my friends about earlier. Lets say you have a VCO with these functions:

1. Sine
2. Triangle
3. Saw
4. Square
5. PWM Wave
6. V/oct
7. Linear FM
8. Exponential FM
9. PWM
10. High or low switch. i.e. LFO or VCO
11. Any specific functions like variable waveshape or TZFM etc.

If you had to rate these functions from 1 to 11, which would you prioritize? Even though I didn't include attenuators, the answer would be more complete if those would be thought of, for things like PWM, TZFM, Variable Waveshape, Linear and Exponential FM etc. Basically, what is most important for a minimally viable VCO for you?

I'm looking for a simple sequencer along the lines of the Korg SQ1, as in 2x8 or 1x16, and I basically only need pitch CV and gate/trigger.

I was just about to purchase a used SQ1, but the seller was a bit sketchy, so I thought about making my own.

Are there any good alternatives, or even better solutions? I remember seeing someone on YouTube making a lot of interesting sequencers, but I can't seem to find the channel now.
