Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

So, I was reading the manual Pdf, and you will have to pardon the idiotic question, but

it seems to indicated that the sequencer can be routed to things other than note on/off, as in, I could program a sound, set destination to modulate the filter with the 16 or 8 or whatever steps, and it will step through the filter as such? Or does it have to be on a sound that is already sequenced?

Thanks in advance!
