ok ,its gets a bit tricky,
switch 1
A just channel A
A-B plays A then B
A-B-C plays A then B then C
manual plays whatever channel you hit with the red buttons under the
channels [switches instantly,very cool,using the series O/P]

switch 2

1-the last channel in the sequence ONLY contains the last step number
so if you have A-B-C and last step on 4 you will get
A 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,B1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,C1,2,3,4, STOP

can be used for complex ENV gen amongst other things.

2-All channels contain the END step,will STOP on the last Step number
-----------
when manual is selected ,stop has no effect
when either stop 1 or repeat 1 is selected sequene will run to step 12 and
repeat
in either of the 2 positions it will run to the END step then repeat.
and in both cases pressing end will stop on the next end step

The best ever analogue sequencer apart from a MARF id say
also the step select switches work immediately continuing the sequence in
sync from that point
the continue LED lights up when running and if the current sequnce contains
the end step the continue and end leds light up together until it reaches
the end and then the end led comes on only.

you can make a custom groove on this sequencer as each step has a delay
control,unique as far as i know apart from MARF&DARF
if you have two of these things its insanity
