You would patch the pulse of step 8 (not 7) to Ext pulse of step 3. When
step 8 is activated, it immediately activates step 3, cancelling itself in
the process.

Exactly.

Yes.

You would want to add a 1N4148 diode into the circuit per stage, exactly
where the LED is shown, then go to your switch etc.

The total is adjustable by tweaking the values of the resistors in the CV
buffers

5- 6 volts approx. Pulse Outs are GATE. CPO/AEP triggers. There may be a
fault with one of these I haven't investigated yet. I've heard of some CPOs
apparently not working - it may just be user error.
