Though it doesn’t immediately strike me as related to the phase aspect you mention, but since you didn’t note it in your post and it might help eliminate variables: Are you also sending a run signal from Pam’s? If not then you should do so by configuring one of her outputs to go high when a button press starts Pam running. Patch that into the NerdSEQ reset input.
PS - 6X is right.
PPS - If you need Pam to drive the NerdSEQ for long then either of the Pam’s expanders would be a good buy.
