not to steal your thunder, OP, but for those interested in a MUCH much simpler (and also usable as a CV sequencer!) do a google search on Baby10 sequencer. No PIC required, just a simple 4017 (for 10 steps) or 4022 (for 8 steps), the 8 100k pots, 8 1n4148 diodes, and some leds and resistors if youd like. i can build these in an hour, and have put them in toy drums, synths, etc!

 Would you please make an instructable for this?  I would love to see it.  I am interested in all of this stuff!

I've had parts around to do a 16 step one for awhile, a very simple project with 3 chips (40106 timer, 2x 4022 or 4017), 16 diodes, 18 pots, leds+resistors.  It will have CV out with a pot to control the range, and 1 for gain (internal osc). I'll start working on it tonight.  The only thing I've never done is make a drawn schematic for it but its based on the common Baby10 schematic which you can search for.

Sweet!  Sounds awesome.  I can't wait to see it.  If you make everything else clear enough, the schematic might not be too big of a hurdle.  But then again, it might be a fun challenge that would hone your skills in an area that's not a strength at the moment.   :)

And on a separate note that I should have included in my first comment:  I really like THIS instructable as well, great job!

here's a 16 step sequencer schematic.
