Re: Newbie TKB questions

2009-08-31 by dr.jasoncrest

Last question for at least 48 hours I swear....
I'm away from my Serge for the rest of the night so I have to wait until the morning to work on the 64 step sequence.
I'm assuming you're talking about the combined ABCD. Where should I patch this & are the separate A,B,C,D still functional here? I'm guessing that the 64 step patch runs through A then B then C then D.

Thanks!
