The monostable can do lots of things.
It can make your gate into a trigger, or your trigger into a gate. So,
if your sequencer sends out short triggers, you can stretch it into a
longer gate for filter sweeps and such on slow sequences, and vice
versa if your sequencer sends out gates which are a too long.
It can make a short trigger into a long AR, and your long gate into a
percussive AD, so you can get a little staccato bow on a violin sound
or a tonguing to your clarinet sound, while the gate on the note you're
holding down is triggering another AR for your filter frequency.
You can plug your trigger into both Mono and G/T inputs to get double
triggering.
You can use it as a simple pulse delay, cascading into your next EG.
If you're an ADSR kind of fella, then stick w/ those. I think a lot of
folks leave Sustain at 10, and could use an extra bit of versatility in
their 1U EG.
