  We design a system of phase oscillators that is able to produce temporally
periodic sequences of patterns. Patterns are cluster partitions which encode
information as phase differences between phase oscillators. The architecture of
our system consists of a retrieval network with N globally coupled phase
oscillators, a pacemaker that controls the sequence retrieval, and a set of
patterns stored in the couplings between the pacemaker and the retrieval
network. The system performs in analogy to a central pattern generator of
neural networks and is very robust against perturbations in the retrieval
process.
