In "normal" sequencer operation, each of the row (A, B, C, D) jacks
will output the voltage of its respective pot at the current stage.
For each sequence stage (or "step") you get four different voltages,
each of which can be routed to the control destination(s) of your
choice. You might, for example route row A to the pitch of several
oscillators, row B to linear fm amount of an NTO modulated by a PCO,
row C to the wave multiplier cv input, and row D to filter cutoff.

The ABCD output works in conjunction with the Vertical Clock input,
allowing you to run sequences as long as 64 steps, but with only a
single voltage output (in contrast to the four outputs in "normal"
mode). When the Vertical Clock input receives a pulse, the ABCD output
is switched from its current row to the next row. For example, patch
one of the individual stage pulse outputs (1, 12, 16, etc, you pick!)
to the Vertical Clock input. Advance the TKB horizontally using a
regular clock input, and once the sequence reaches the stage you
patched to the Vertical Clock, the ABCD output will switch from the
row A voltage to the row B voltage. The next cycle around, it will
switch to the row C voltage, then row D, and finally back around to
row A again.

Hope this helps,

Chris
