A lot of the cool parts of music making in modular systems comes from injecting complexities that you can't quite fully reason through. So in this case, the disk is a bit more complex than just using a clock and some switches to send out a trigger signal, -- it's less reliable and less precise. But those are positive traits because it's easy enough to get a reliable, precise sequencer. For what it's worth, all this device is sending out is a trigger pulse, which can be hooked to anything that would find a pulse like that useful... that's what is cool about modular synths. So you could use it to "trigger audio" by hooking that trigger pulse to an envelope generator, but you could just as easily hook it to the "reset" of another sequencer and have it start a sequence over with every pulse. Or you could hook it to a flip-flopping swithc and have it, say, turn on and off the reverb in time with whatever is on the disc... it's a really fun (albeit expensive) way to make music.
