gate voltage and logic stds

     Remember Juergen that we're talking about ADSR generators, which 
     typically operate exclusively between ground and the positive supply 
     :-)
     
     You're right about BBDs - my home-built 4096-stage analog delays run 
     between -15 and ground, as shown in EN. If you happen to know any more 
     details on why -15 is preferred, please share your thoughts because I 
     sure as heck can't figure out why it would make a difference since the 
     electrons are flowing in the same direction! Maybe fewer (smaller) 
     noise spikes on the ground side???

I've seen designs with +/- 7.5 volt "auxiliary supplies" for all kinds of 
CMOS switches. I think KORG have done this now and then (+/-15 V and
+/- 7.5 V sub-supply).
CMOS circuits that are used to clock BBD lines are often connected 
to GND and -15 V, because that's the preferred constellation for 
those (N-MOS ?) BBD chips.
