I would have it remain the OUT- jack. There is a problem beginning to
accumulate: suggestions are slowly trying to turn this thing into an
8-stage sequencer when it started out and should remain an envelope
generator. Now of course I didn't help matters when I suggested the step
gate mode, but then I wasn't wanting to add other switches and knobs that
enhance the sequencer aspect possibly at the expense of the original EG
functions. The device is an EG that can operate in a limited sequencer
mode, and that is how it should be designed, IMHO.

A trigger out might be useful if only to start a cascaded EG, but the
inverse waveform is still more useful as far as EG capabilities go.

I know your panel is crowded already, but perhaps one last tweak can be
performed. I'll email a really quick sketch to you, Tony.
