Thanks for your explanation, you are right, so the "ASR"-effect of the
A-152 has a one-step-delay
to an original ASR, but the shifting of the states works as derscribed,
so, by example, you can
fill the cv output of sequencer to the A-152 input and feed oscillators
with the state of the T/H-registers while
clocking the A-152 with the clock out of the sequencer.
Here you can build polyphonic sequences and you are more flexible: for
example you can patch three
outputs of T/H to an OSC each, but you are able to use a range of six
steps by using the reset-in from a digital out
and patch the T/H outputs 1,3 and 4 to the osc to build interesting
tonal models.
Again, the only difference is one step too late, but it is the same kind
of problem as you
have with sequencers, which are resetting to the last or to the first step.
You have to accept these circumstances and nobody will hear that you are
not using an original concept of a so-called true ASR,
but a delayed one ;-)
There is a technical aspect and I'm looking at the musical aspect.
The audio examples from Plan B's Model 23 can be realized with the A-152.

Axel
