Up and down are for forward and backwards movement through the stages. THe
ABCD pots are all selected at once per row, just like in the serge original.

Only one stage will ever activate at a time (in theory anyway). If you have
two groups of say 3 stages wired as micro sequences, pushing a button on one
of the grouped stages will cause the module to go to and remain in that 3
stage micro sequence until such time as button is pressed (or external pulse
injected) for a different stage.

Exactly.
