OK, so I figured out how to make these foogers do their thing. But it is not possible to play along with the craziness.
Now I am wondering - does the 251 allow a person to play along with or at least add input to the mix?
Secondly, what is sample and hold?
How to play along with fooger song?
Well, i'm not totally sure what you mean about playing along with the MFs. I have definitely gotten some good, slowly auto-evolving patches going, but I don't have any particular trouble playing along with them. I mean they aren't necessarily in tune... is that what you mean? What is stoppping you from playing along with it? Do you just need a mixer to add some inputs? If all you need is a multiple and mixer then a CP-251 would provide it, but a lot more than you need also.
First off, the CP-251 is designed to process CV signals and not audio signals. That may answer your question right off, I don't know. It has NO audio inputs/ouputs. Some of them may be used to mix audio signals or to spread one signal to multiple outputs.
This is from the CP-251 manual available for download at:

"The S + H module has 2 ins nd 2 outs. The ins are labeled IN and TRIG. Whenever the TRIG signal crosses a preset threshold, the voltage at the IN jack is sampled, and is held until the next time the TRIG signal crosses the threshold. The sampled voltage appears at the OUT 1 jack."
Basically, you can get a random step voltage very easily. It will step from one random voltage to another at regular time intervals determined by the LFO. Because of the way the CP-251 is set up you can just use one patch cord instead of patching a lot of those things. You can use the random voltage to control anything you want. One simple example is to have the MF-101 in self-oscillation and the S + H output into the cutoff input. You will hear random notes at regular intervals.
As far as getting it in tune you would need some sort of sequencer or quantizer, I guess.
