Subject: Newbie Oscillator Questions

From: Jeff Laity <synthetic@...>

Hi, I just placed a few kit orders. My first modular, I'm excited. :) I
wonder how far I'll go, 2 racks? 2 cabinets? We shall see.

Anyhow, I have a few newbie questions while I'm waiting for parts.
First, what does the PWM Depth do? There's an initial width and PWM
amount, I get that. But depth I can't figure out.

Also, how do you do a long release time on a modular synth? When I let
go of the key, the oscillator stops, right? Do I feed the CV signal
through something to extend it? An envelope generator? I can't get my
head around this quite yet.

Thanks for your help, -jl
