Hey, Random select selects a random sequencer stage. BUT in order for it to work, not only do you have to patch a clock pulse into it (from DSG or DTG or whatever source) but you have to patch it to RESET at the same time. So run a short patch cord between RESET and RANDOM SELECT

It's an input. Whenever a voltage is received by this input, the sequencer will advance to the next row of steps (as you know, there are 4 rows, 16 steps each). Patching a gate (red jack) from step 16 into the vert clock inlet turns the TKB into a 64-step sequencer. JD -----Origi
