Midi trigger for one step at a time?

Hey,

does anybody know a way to let the digitone just play one step of the sequence triggered by a midi command?
the idea would be that i trigger the digitone with a drumpad/trigger and on each hit the sequence moves one step but stops in between.

if not, does anybody know a setup in which this could work? another synthesizer or something?
i just know that it can work with ableton.
