Is the CLOCK THRU jack simply connected to the CLOCK IN jack? If so,
this jack could instead be used as an output for shift register B
(after the INVERT switch), call it SRB OUT. This would allow cascading
the output from one Klee to the input of another Klee (connect KIee #1
SRB OUT to Klee #2 RANDOM INPUT) to achieve 32 step sequences. Does
anybody else think this is a good idea? If you are worried about
connecting a CMOS output to a jack, there is an unused op-amp that
could be used as a buffer.

Even if you don't change the legend on the panel, I will likely wire
mine up this way. I came up with a dozen Klee modifications, but
implementing them all would require a ridiculous amount of hardware
changes (I would have to make all new PCBs) and a panel 3 times the
size of the one you've got. I think I'll stick with the official Klee
for now.
