Questions about [techno~]

Hi. I've been playing around with this object for a few days. The help file is a bit perplexing but I have managed to set up a little [techno~] set-up. Can someone clarify a few things?

1. What exactly does the "repeatpos" message mean in simple terms?

   • Help file: "allows repeating settings of non-uniform sequencer step sizes" What does this mean?

   • Help file: "number of floats following the lengths message represents one less than the size of the repeating segment of steps" I have no clue what any of this sentence means.

   • Help file: "segment size can be any even divisor of the total number of steps in the sequence" What is a "segment"? What is its size, in what units are we talking about? Why must its size be an even divisor?

   • Help file: "The floating point arguments which must be strictly increasing and in the range between 0 and 1, set the relative width of each step" At this point I'm lost. Why strictly increasing? What are we talking about anymore?

   • Help file example: "repeatpos 0.66 affects a repeating segment two steps long, giving the first step 66% of the time and the second step 34%" Not sure what to make of this example. So the number after "repeatpos" signifys the % of time that each step occupies in the sequence?

   The more i read the helpfile the more confused i am about this.

2. What does "values used to specify the exponents of the curve are the same as those used for the "curve" message" mean?

   • This phrase is mentioned in the help file under the "attack" and "decay" message information. What am i supposed to know here? Am i supposed to match the step values from "curve" message with the "attack" and "decay" steps?

   Thank you for anyone who chimes in
