particularly
interesting with
very
short
button-taps. The effect
is
of
course
to
create
a
percussive kind of
envelope

on
what signal you are
feeding

the
VCA.

When
you
have exhausted the immediate possibilities of the AR
envelope generator control,
close
the
linear
control
input
to
the
VCA
and
open
the exponential input
to maximum; the prewired connection
to this input
is
from the ADSR
Envelope Generator
You
can start alf
over
again.
If
you
get tired
of
jabbing
the
manual
start button
you
may
flick
the
gate
selector switch
to its
lower
position,
in
which
the enve-
lope generators are
gated
by
an external Input which
Is
prewired
from
the
Sample & Hold.
This way
the
envelope generators
will produce an
envelope automatically every
five
seconds or so at
the
lowest setting
of
the
Internal
Clock
