Reset and Rest
Sequences have a maximum of 16 steps, but they can have fewer—from 1 to
15—using Reset. (Sequences of 16 steps reset automatically.) Reset appears
immediately after the highest value setting for a step. Setting a step to Reset
causes the sequence to jump back to the first step and continue playing.
Reset is set separately for each of the four sequences, so it must be set at the
same step in all four sequences to shorten all the sequences equally. The
following illustration shows an example in which all the sequences are eight
steps in length.

Tip: Using Reset while programming a sequence can be helpful. For
example, when programming a specific melodic line, start by shortening
the sequence to four or eight steps until those steps are set, and then
gradually move the reset point to lengthen the loop until the desired
number of steps is playing.
Sequences do not have to be the same length, however, which makes for some
very interesting, less repetitive patterns, particularly when sequences are set to
odd and even numbers of steps.

Sequence one has an additional value, Rest, that appears in the list after Reset.
Rest prevents the envelopes from being gated by the corresponding step, so a
rest in sequence one affects all four sequences. If the sequences are the same
length, rests will occur in the same place in all four sequences as they loop. If
the sequences are different lengths, the rests in sequence one apply to whatever
