As far as I remember the first and last step controls are active even in the
random mode (but I'm not 100% sure and have currently no A-154/A-155
available as I'm about to rearrange our system for the Synthesizer Meeting
in Kufstein/Austria thi weekend). If is is not true please contact Christian
Assall (software@doepfer.de). He is the programmer of the A-154 firmware and
will be probably able to introduce this feature if it is not yet available.

Best wishes
