Thanks, Alec for explaining how this works. The way you described it makes perfect sense. I have never given much thought of the actual function of the APC. I just knew it worked and it was a necessary track in SEQUENCER to record a style. It is comparable to a story about a woman who lived most of her life in the city. She moved to the country and she had no water coming out of her faucets. A man checked out the problem and told her that her well was dry. She replied, "I don't CARE if the well is dry, I just want water coming out of my faucet."
