Sequencer Step Selection Patch 

This patch lets the user select specific steps on a Q960 sequencer.  Program the Q170 MIDI Gate mod-
ule to respond to an array of keys, then set the sequencer knobs to voltages that correspond to any note 
you wish.  This allows a keyboard to produce arbitrary notes, or allows programmed keys to select a set 
of control voltages to adjust a patch at will.  Patch the Thru output to a Q174 to produce a combined gate.
