Me, sleep-deprived again:

The question is about the type of clock generated by old analog
arpeggiators and sequencers, from before midi. Does it send a pulse each
beat? A pulse at each bar? At the beginning of the sequence? Or does it
send many pulses for each beat, the way midi clock works?

It would be fun to figure out how to sync the old analog stuff up to modern
loopers.
