Certainly, but the point was that it doesn't need to go there... I have 
received this particular question off-list several times. It is a common 
misstake to think that the trigger is needed to make the oscillators to 
oscillate. This is far from the fact that it may be beneficial to 
synchronise the oscillators to the attack of the envelope generator.

Cheers,
Magnus
