It's hard to tell what exactly you mean by this.

The Evolver's sequencer works like this:

* Every patch has _four_ sequences attached to it.  Each has up to 16 steps,
  with the loop point placeable anywhere in the sequence.

* These four sequences run in parallel, and are (mostly) independent -- e.g.,
  they can have different periods.

* Each of the four sequences can control any modulatable parameter.  Pitch is
  just a modulatable parameter, so any of the sequences can control pitch,
  but none actually _need_ do so.  You can even control pitch (or any other
  parameter) simultaneously from more than one sequence.
