It does, but it will continue "sustaining" (not releasing) as long as
the gate is present. So if you want really snappy EGs and your gates
are too long, you can condition them w/ the Pulse Delay section, Delay
at 0, Width at 0 or close to it. If they are too short, put Delay at 0
and Width at whatever you need.
But the "gate conditioning" use isn't something I'd get hung up on.
It's just an extra utility.
Ian could always do a PCB w/ two EGs on it, but I'm not sure if he'd be
interested. I'll run it by him, but there's a lot of other stuff going
on right now, so I couldn't see that happening anytime soon.
