Circle Machine Complete

You might remember the Circle Machine from this post on August 15. Dave Brown wrote in with the following on the SDIY list:

"I've more or less finished my Circle Machine project. I finished the 5U panel and built a desktop enclosure for it. It's fun to operate. I've put another video of it in operation on my Circle Machine web page. I use a control voltage to vary the sequence length to 4, 8, or 16 steps. I create the shorter sequences by skipping lamps but keeping a constant rotation rate. This has the effect of changing the tempo by 1/2 or 1/4.

None of my "modern" sequencers can use a control voltage to vary the sequence length. Doing so adds an interesting twist to the sequence. The first video on the Circle Machine web page shows demonstrates this using a sine LFO to control the sequence length.
A fun project. - Dave"
