On the 1601 :
Looking closely i like the simple straight forward interface. No manual, no menus, no modes to remember. Just looking at the front panel and you can see how to use the 1601. So what if it has been done before, if it was good then it’s still good. Sliders on a sequencer is very quick and immediate. It has a quantizer, and MIDI output too, so it has been updated. It just fits with the 2600, but i can see it with other stuff too.
