This is really amazing information & I appreciate you taking the time to address it. Thanks a million. I've cut and pasted this into my Serge notes. I've been wishing that there was an LED assigned to each vertical grouping so I could tell which step it was on.

One thing that's been really bugging me lately is a a click as the TKB proceeds to each step. I'm clocking it using the sq wave generated via the cycle on my DTG. Is this clicking normal? I don't recall it ever happening before.
