The usual coures of action is for it to "follow" not "lead" a sequence or
whatever. If running from a sequencer, it should grasp the previous note
played and present it at the first output. In the perfect world, it would be
able to predict the clockpulse and grab the sample just before the clock
pulse occurred. I expect more common used would be following an LFO or
whatever. As far as I am aware, this is a "problem" associated with all
ASRs, not just this one.
One designer (Paia or Blacet?) had a polyphonic converter, which while
similar did in fact grab each note as generated, allowing polyphonic playing
on a monophonic keyboard but rolling your fingers into the chord instead of
pressing them all at once. The difference here however was that the process
was digital - the note data could be grabbed quickly.
