Analogue-sequencer

If you have a pattern where aux events are set up to influence the last step
and time base, how is the length of a repeat determined? I have a pattern
which takes quite awhile to reach the end at step 16, and this is what I was
hoping one iteration would be, but that's not the case. My brain isn't
functioning too well right now (transplant surgery, and I think I'm
rejecting the new one), so I'm not quite seeing what is determining how the
repeat parameter is working...

Did that make any sense?

Thanks,
Gene
