This vid shows the main concept:

btw, I put the wrong Intellijel link up.  This is their new 185 style sequencer:

The 185 concept this so much fun is that each step has between 1 and 8 "Pulse Counts" and, you determine how these are played using the Gate Mode.

Example A:
Step 1	: 	Pulse Count=1	: Gate Mode=Single [Note C]
Step 2	: 	Pulse Count=1	: Gate Mode=Single [Note D]
Result	: 	Normal 2 step sequence [C   D]

Example B:
Step 1	: 	Pulse Count=3	: Gate Mode=MultiTrig [Note C]
Step 2	: 	Pulse Count=1	: Gate Mode=Single [Note D]
Result	: 	Normal 4 step sequence [CCCD]

Example C:
Step 1	: 	Pulse Count=3	: Gate Mode=First Note Only [Note C]
Step 2	: 	Pulse Count=1	: Gate Mode=Single [Note D]
Result	: 	4 step sequence [C--D]

Then there are a few other Gate Modes (some not in the Intellijel design).

Intellijel have also included a slide which would be sexy.

You also need some control over the max step length otherwise you start to get 7 step sequences etc.

Btw, this is the Max version I use:

Then there is the one that I don’t use but has even more Gate Modes:

0- Nothing happens
 1- One note is played using it's own duration
 A- On each step a note is played using it's own duration
 D- A note is played during the whole stage
 L- Legato mode. Previous stages with a D or L effect will wait to send their note-off MIDI signals until a stage with another effect than L is played. In the L stage a new note is played during the whole stage. This should be used in combination with a mono-synth.
 S- A note is played on each step according to the 'Duty cycle' setting. 
 3- There are 3 notes played, dividing the stage in 3 equal parts
