TRIGGER IN jack
By connecting a rhythm machine or similar device equipped with
a trigger out jack, you can advance through steps of the step
sequencer by sending a trigger from the external device.
* If a plug is connected to this jack, the step sequencer is
disconnected from the internal clock, and waits for a trigger
signal. In this state, the step sequencer cannot be operated from
the SYSTEM-8 itself.
