Hello,
I was looking through the following excerpt from https://pichenettes.github.io/mutable-i ... es/manual/ regarding the Mutable Instruments Marbles. I was curious if there was any modules or combination of modules that might be able to demonstrate similar function. In particular, the ability to play and have the module analyze for frequency of notes is an amazing feature. In addition, it would be wonderful to be able to have the ability to play notes with the frequency found in the sample, though that doesn't appear to be a function of the Marbles. There are obviously some sequencers that could accomplish this, but I haven't been able to find any that allow for that incoming cv analysis; would love to be proven wrong, as I think that would more or less solve my problem.
I found a couple threads touching on this function, but nothing explaining any alternatives or potential solutions. Would appreciate any help.

"Programming a scale
Connect the CV and Gate outputs of a keyboard or MIDI interface to the SPREAD (5) and CLOCK (6) inputs respectively.
Hold the external processing mode button [O] for 2 seconds. The LED above the scale selection button [J] blinks and indicates the active scale. This scale is going to be reprogrammed!
Play a little jam in the scale you want to program. Fifty notes, or more, is the recommended length.
Press the button [O] when done.
The module analyzes your jam to measure how frequently each note occurs. The least frequently played notes will be the first to be eliminated when STEPS is turned clockwise from 12 o’clock. The most frequently played note will be the last one to remain when STEPS is at 5 o’clock.
Note: it is also possible, at step 3, to play the scale in ascending order, instead of a long melody. In this case, the module will not know the relative importance of each note of the scale, and the gradual scale “carving” will not be performed: turning the STEPS button from 12 o’clock to 5’clock will not modify the scale.
One can take advantage of the way the module counts notes to program several subsets of the same scale along the course of the STEPS knob. For example if we play :
C D E F G A B C D F G A C F G C G C
We'll get, right after 12 o'clock, C D E F G A B ; then C D F G A (least frequent notes E and B are eliminated) ; then C F G (less frequent notes D and A eliminated) ; then C G (F is the next to be eliminated) ; then C (which is the most frequent note in the fragment)"
