Hi Joe

> The A-155 as mentioned always resets to step 1 and starts at step 2.

I don't own the A-155, but I think this is normal for counter like also the
A-161. A clock-transient at the counters clock-input causes the counter to
advance for one step. If the counter was resetted before, it stands now at
step 1 and the first advance will go to step 2.

I think the sequencer should start fine at the step 1, if you send the
start stop signal also to the reset input. If reset does not go for the
transient, but for the level, then send the Start/Stop-signal through a
A-162 set to minimum.
