I see (said the blind man trying to squeeze in some stoogely humor). I can
see what you mean by the two methods of interpretation. You could make
arguments that favor either. Personally, I think either would be fine.
Thanks for the detailed info. I'll shut up now (about this) and wait for
you to make them.

Yes they are the 3/4" knobs. The square position does imply the transitions
are instant. Your interpretation is exactly correct. I still have to decide
the "polarity" or "order" (if you will) of the Time and Level knobs. I'll
use arbitrary values in the following examples just for sake of argument.
Time1 = 5 seconds
Level1 = 25%
Time2 = 1 second
Level2 = 50%
Time3 = 9 seconds
Level3 = 100% (fully clockwise)
...

One way of interpretation is that the module receives a gate and waits 5
seconds before it snaps to Level1 (at the 25% position). It then sits there
for 1 second before snapping to Level2. It sits at Level2 for 9 seconds
before snapping to Level3, etc...

The other way is to reverse the Time and Level and do it like this:

Receive the gate, instantly go to Level1 for 5 seconds, then snap and stay
at Level2 for 1 second, then snap and stay at level 3 for 9 seconds, etc.

Either way, Time8 has no real meaning.
