Hey guys just got my TKB a few days ago and very happy with ti so far,
tried most of the tricks you guys mentioned and by the time I looked 3
hours had gone by. and now getting the hang of it really good.

One thing I am trying to do that I though would be easier but is
turning out not so is trying to make it go pendulum style (so back and
forth a number of steps)

I thought sending a pulse out from the first and last step where I
want to loop back and forth would do the trick but that is not the
case, as it ends up getting stuck between that step and the one before
it (I think is because when the direction reverses another pulse is
sent).

Pulse divider works great for a set number of steps up to 8 steps.
(sending the desired number into the direction input) but if I want to
do the full 16 steps it does not work. N comparator divider works not
so well for some reason. seems like the pulse is not enough to trigger
the change? so I had to send the output to the pulse divider to get am
usable pulse. Also is hard to make the begining and end step precisse.
as I would ideally like to be able to set this on the fly live....

Any ideas?

I'll get back to you if I find a better way but patching the NCOM pre-Pulse Divider gives a usable gate for the TKB's direction input.

For a pendulum sequence:

GATE out of VC Clock to TKB CLOCK in
GATE out of VC Clock to NCOM + in
NCOM knob about 12 o'clock (find /8, I suppose?)
NCOM OUT to PDIV INPUT
PDIV /2 OUTPUT to TKB direction in

You'll have to play with it a bit and reset the TKB to the step you want it to start on until you get it but this might be useful until we find another way to do it.
