Subject: Re: [motm] gate processor preview

From: Mark <yahoogroups@...>

I do not know what sort of technology this gate processor uses, so I
cannot comment on it specifically, but in my experience analogue
timers are not stable enough for sequencing. Years ago, I built a
unit using a 555 timer chip in order to control the glide switch on a
Mini Moog from a drum trigger or the accent output of a modified
TB-303. It worked well enough for that, but when I tried it to use
it to create gates to control an 800 for notes, the drift was fairly
noticeable. However, some people might consider that effect
desirable.
