Overview

Mimetic sequent is a sixty-four step pitch-aware CV recorder and 
randomizer with the ability to save and modify three unique patterns. 
Switch between stored patterns or use the Mimetic Multium expander to 
output all three patterns simultaneously in addition to four separate 
randomized rhythm sources.
