;-)
In fact all sequzencers which provide a "negative delay time", either
don't do the negative delay on the first beat (old Linn or Korg drum
machines or Jomox Xbase09 in SyncSlave mode), or have count in bars
(Logic) or simply delay the clock (for output) itself and are able to
set some beats before the clock.
It is the same as with through zero flanging. You cannot get backwards
in time, but you can delay your non modulated signal.
