I'm thinking the exact same thing. I also think a UEG would be an
excellent way to modulate the filter cutoff in my MiniMoog, Kenton modded
SH-101, modded TB-303, and Frostwave Resonator. I could also use it to
trigger synced envelopes that I can use with the pedal inputs on my DSP
boxes and digital synths. I have similar plans for the motm VC LFO.

I haven't bought a UEG yet, but I asked the same question myself. This is
the answer I received:

I don't understand why you have to update all of the units already sold,
manufactures upgrade existing products all the time. Regardless, I trust
you know much more about running your own company than I do, and I accept
your decision.
Anyway, since it seems that we will not get this feature from Encore, I'm
thinking that perhaps a daughter board or additional module could be
devised. I don't know if a trigger for each step can be tapped off of the
UEG's PCB. Since it is advancing and lighting the next LED on each step
I'm thinking that this information already exists within the circuit. Are
the schematics available??
If not, then perhaps an "edge detector" could be devised. I'm no EE, but I
have seen flip-flop circuits that could detect negative or positive going
edges. We would need a circuit that could detect small edges going in
either direction from the CV output and output a trigger pulse. This
should work with the UEG Slope set to Step, or any sort of stairstep
generator:

--- ------

^ ^ ^ ^
This is what I mean by "edges".
Furthermore, the Trigger out jack on the UEG could be replaced with a TRS
jack, so that a trigger is available on each step when the jack is inserted
half way, and that a trigger is available at the end of the entire loop
when inserted all the way (the way the UEG works now).
Any ideas??
