[sdiy] voltage controlled monostable?

Hi Ruberto and all .

This is done in our TM-116 in a much simple way :
you pluge pulse out of a VCO/LFO to the clock input of the sequencer , then 
PWM the VCO/LFO and you get a variable gate length from the gate output of 
the sequencer .
if the cv out of the sequncer is modulating the VCO/LFO PWM then each step 
gate length is define by the potentiomter of that step .
