I don't think there's an easy solution to this problem, or at least not
using existing modules. I think the least hard way to get the effect that
you want is to send a reset pulse simultaneously with the first clock pulse.
You could use an A160 to make sure that the sequencer got a reset pulse
every 8/16/32 steps, thus ensuring that if you (re)started the sequence at
the beginning of a bar it would start from step one. Just don't
stop/reset/restart your A160...

I have plans to build my own sequencer in addition to the 155 I got. When I
do so I'm tempted to go with a design that will allow both reset to step one
and reset to last step on different reset inputs (& buttons) - I expect this
feature to make life a lot easier ;)

Cheers,

Silas
