My current approach is to patch the gate outputs to the A155's
external CV jacks. I clock the A155 so that it steps every 16 notes,
playing the patterns in whatever order I want. Some of the patterns
can be patched through an A180 Multiples and inserted several places
into the song, or I can use all 8 of the gate outputs to make one long
sequence of 8 distinct patterns.

I don't have a second A155, so I can't do the same thing with the
Pitch CV outputs, but it works great for percussion parts, or with
random A156 arpeggios and scales.

But if we're telling Doepfer that we don't want song mode, I guess I
beg to differ.
