Now, IMO the "trapezoid"/envelope is one of the best things about the
EMS. I wish they'd included 2, as it happens. The controls are marked
"Attack", "Hold", "Decay" and "Off" (I may be remembering the last one
wrong. My EMS is packed away at the moment. The first 3 do what you
expect them to, whilst the last one retriggers the EG at a faster and
faster rate as you turn it round. It's a realy useful little function
actually, and a MOTM equivalent of it (the four controls plus sockets -
gate, trigger, envelope out and trigger out, perhaps?) would be a good
one to have in your system. I believe Analogue Systems were going to
release a clone of it as part of their range, but the number assigned
now points at their bode freq shifter clone.
