That's a fair point, hopefully I won't need too much support.

Excellent!!

Thanx :)

On the up side, at least I'm correct :)
One feature that would be an awesome improvement to the UEG, would be to
have it fire a trigger at the beginning of each step (as it goes from LED
to LED, rather than at the end of the entire loop) so that you could use it
as a free-running step sequencer and use it to trigger envelopes and reset
LFO's at the beginning of each step.
I'll explain what I mean. In Loop Only mode the Level would set the VCO's
pitch, and the Time will set the length of the note. By adjusting the
voltage going into the TCV input you could then adjust the length of the
entire bar (the tempo of the loop) to fit the rest of the track. With the
Slope switch set to Step and an 820 Lag Processor, I imagine one could come
up with some _very_ funky basslines with the motm system by using this
technique. If it helps, try visualizing James Brown in a cowboy outfit :)
Is it possible to mod the UEG so it will do this?? I have a 555 and a
hammer :)
