Took a rather swift dive the past year from owning a Grandmother to buying a 6u Black Hole case and a DIY case that happens to be 12u 109hp along with a Beatstep Pro and a Keystep.

I intend to regularly swap the Bitbox along with a Listen Four mixer and maybe a quad VCA into the Black Hole for gig purposes. Other than that I go straight outta Soundstage into a Focusrite audio interface and into Ableton. My main purpose for this rig is industrial / sound design / generative ambient music. I'm set if not burdened by effects at this point with external pedals.
I very much would like to add another sequencer to complement my Arturia controllers. I really like what I've seen from Rene and Metropolix demos but with clock-hungry delays, a sampler and 4 "drum" modules I feel I might be short on gate/trigger outs. Am I wrong? I've been using MIDI out from the Beatstep Pro into Bitbox but to sequence it, I appear to have to share the drum sequencer channel between it and the Error/Noise Engineering modules, which is mostly fine but not Ideal. Is there a way around this? Other sequencers that have stood out are Hermod for its MIDI connectivity and Varigate 4/Voltage Block combo for bonus modulation. Maybe I'm all wrong here but I'd like to hear what ya'll think in general.
