on step 6, 11 and 15 to remind you that the step sequence 1 "cycles" over 5 steps only.
Trivia: the longest non-repeating pattern you can build with Ambika is 20677 steps long (set sequence
1 to 23 steps ; sequence 2 to 29 steps ; and the note sequence to 31 steps). With a clock speed of
1/16 and a BPM of 86, the sequence would last for 1 hour!

Clock settings (S6)

bpm is the master tempo, in beats per minute. Use ext to sync to an external MIDI clock source.
groo (groove): groove template. The options are swing (uneven distribution of pairs of 1/8th notes),
shuffle (uneven distribution of pairs of 1/16th notes), push (push the beat), lag (sloppy drummer!),
human (humanization) and monkey (humanization + shuffle). This setting only has an effect when
amnt is set to a non-zero value.
amnt (amount): amount of groove to apply.
ltch (latch): clock latch release time. This parameter controls the number of beats during which the
internal clock continues running after you have released all keys. This allows the internal arpeggiator
or sequencer to "keep counting" for a while after you have released all keys from the keyboard. When
this setting is set to 0 and the arpeggiator is on, every time you release the keys to play a new chord,
the internal clock stops and the arpeggiator/sequencer is restarted. You might like this effect (many
vintage synths work this way), but it might sound a bit strange to have the "flow" of the sequence
broken at each chord change. When the clock latch is set to 1 beat, the "flow" of the clock and
arpeggiator are preserved as long as your chord changes are spaced by less than 1 beat.
