 r#"Tracker (based) Sequencer
 
+This sequencer gets it's speed from the clock source. The 'clock'
+signal can be interpreted in different modes. But if you want to
+run multiple sequencers in parallel, you want to synchronize them.
+For this you can use the 'trig' input, it resets the played row to
+the beginning of the sequence every time a trigger is received.
+
+Alternatively you can run the sequencer clock using the phase mode.
+With that the phase (0..1) signal on the 'clock' input determines the
+exact play head position in the pattern. With this you just need to
+synchronize the phase generators for different sequencers.
+
+For an idea how to chain multiple tracker sequencers, see the next page.
+
 This tracker provides 6 columns that each can have one of the following
 types:
 
 - Note column: for specifying pitches.
 - Step column: for specifying non interpolated CV signals.
-- Value column: for specifying linearily interpolated CV signals.
+- Value column: for specifying linearly interpolated CV signals.
 - Gate column: for specifying gates, with probability and ratcheting.
 
 Step, value and gate cells can be set to 4096 (0xFFF) different values
