Paul walked me through this before and I didn't write it down. Stupid me.

I ∗∗still∗∗ can't get anything to sound right. Perhaps I don't understand
all of the labels on all of the panels well enough.

Most basic set-up. Hook VCO (sine, square, triangle, PWM) directly to amp.
Steady tone can control pitch (fine & coarse). Width affects PWM output,
but PWM knob does not affect output. Constant tone.

2nd most basic set-up. Put CV (Korg Prophecy-->Novation Bass Station Rack)
into VCO 1V/Oct. Pitch changes as expected. Constant tone.

The most basic synth (with no filters of course--Come on June 15th!).
CV into VCO 1V/Oct (as above)
VCO Sine into VCA CV
Gate (from BassStation) into EG GATE
EG OUT+ into VCA IN
VCA VCA OUT into amp
VCA Gain to zero (and all other values)

Sometimes I get sound all of the time with bizarre attacks and decays. I
tied the VCA Gain at zero and all other values. It is actually hard to
describe. It does seems as the gate is making it in from the BassStation.
The sound is always soft connected like this too.

Is it patched wrong?
Is a knob or switch the wrong direction?
IS the VCA or EG not working properly?

I've tried lots of combinations. It seems like the EG???

Also what is the VCO PWM modulation ∗∗supposed∗∗ to do? I thought it was
the equivalent of Depth.

Have I given enough information?

Thanks!
