That reset behavior A-157 seems setup for people who want their sequences to start at step 1 when hit with the first clock after a reset. When you stop the clock and want to start the sequence again and want it to start on the downbeat, you will want the sequencer to be sitting idle on the last note of your sequence (or the last possible note of the rank) so the first clock you give it will start the sequence on the first note.
The problem arise when you use other clocked modules that don’t have this feature. Especially when one of the clocked module is a clock divider. There are two different types of clock dividers out there, ones I call mathematical dividers and ones I call musical divider. The difference between them is when the produce the high signal. The A-160 is a mathematical divider, it waits for the clocks to count up to the division amount before producing a high signal. For example, the /4 output will act like this with a clock input - one, two, three, FOUR, one, two, three, FOUR, one, two, three, FOUR, etc. When a mathematical divider gets a reset, ALL division outputs go LOW.
A Musical divider thinks in terms of musical phrases and understands the “downbeat” of a phrase. In a musical divider the /4 out would act like this ONE, two, three, four, ONE, two, three, four, ONE, two, three, four, ONE, two, three, four, etc. And when a reset is given, all outputs go HIGH (the downbeat).
It looks like the combination of different reset behaviors between the two modules is what is messing you up. They are not broken or strange, just different for each module. One way to make them sync is to use a row from the A-157 to clock the A-160/A-161 combo instead of the master clock. You can program the steps on the A-157 to match the behavior you want on the other modules.

Hello there again,
Are there any other users of the a157 who experience a rather strange reset behaviour
User example:
Running clock from LFO to A157 and A160/161 combo, clock via multiple.
Reset both by an A164-1.
When making a reset while both running the A160/A161 combo is always one step ahead of the A157.
I noticed that the A157 goes to step 16 with the next clock pulse and then to step 1 and in fact needs two pulses while the A160/161 goes to step 1 directly, therefore is one
step ahead.
Why does the A157 make this , for me rather
unnecessary, step which is one too much.
The A155 will also wait for the next clockpulse when going to step 1 rather then going to step 8 first.
Maybe something for a future update
Thoughts are welcome.
Have a nice day everyone.
