Moog sequencer

[Ken Stone]

Years ago I made a traffic light controller for portable/roadwork use that
made use of a string of 555 all triggering ther next in a loop much like
this sequencer idea. In order to stop this multitriggering (which would be a
disaster in traffic lights!) I had the outputs of all stages fed into a dc
mixer then a comparator, so that if more than one was on, the comparator
tripped the reset. The circuit for this I don't recall. It may have been
discrete.

This could be refined to prevent more than x stages coming on, if used as
part of a sequencer, though which stage would you chose to reset?
