This requires the other sequencer can transpose by MIDI input... many can not, and I currently have nothing that can do this
A Moog Grandmother, and/or Dreadbox Typhon are on my wishlist, and i believe both have this functionality... so I will be sure to try it out then!
Sheesh, that's a great thought there! I've been trying to get the same effect (bass line controlled by Drone) using the mod seq on my Korg MS-2000R, but never been totally satsfied. Something you wrote clicked in my brain, and it occurred to me to use the riff sequencer in my E-mu XL-1. The riff is transposable to the incoming MIDI note, and it's polyphonic so it will make multiple copies as needed for three note drones. Dude, you've saved me so much work!
Also, the sequencer that comes built into the Arturia Keystep is transposable with its own keyboard, and may function as such with MIDI data, I don't know for sure - haven't tried it. Also don't know if it makes polyphonic chords of its sequences with multiple MIDI note inputs. Worth a try, but it may be obvious I don't use my Keystep's sequencer much.
Back to the E-mu polyphonic riff sequencer, they are in any of the Proteous-2000 based modules, which seem to be be rather cheap these days.
