Thanks Peter for your answers. I looked for some more informations about the VC 
Direction of the Milton sequencer and read this page:

http://www.buzzclick-music.com/async.html

Does the Mini Milton work in Async or in Sync mode when a voltage (LFO, ...) comes into 
the VC Direction input ?

Well, the second part of this question is : is it possible to run this sequencer from a 
voltage pulse (LFO or pulse/clock out of a Kenton Pro-2000) and at the same time to 
control the direction of the sequence with the VC Direction input ?

Many thanks if you can make it more clear !
