a gasp escapes from somewhere near the back of my mind...
so the CV inputs should be triggered by EGs only then
it's just that i immediately thought it would be cool to stick a load of
LFOs into everything (my stock response to any box that has a "CV IN"

i couldn't do something with a diode over the control inputs could i...?

or a Korg S-Trig style 5V..? (that last sentence went right over my head
today)

that's nothing, i was only ten then, however at least i could blame my
parents for any fashion mistakes back then :)
