Subject: Re: [PolySix] RE: Clocking he Arpeggiator from MIDI

A while back I had to make a choice between my Juno 60 and my P6. Although I think I made the right one, something I miss is that on the J60 you could push the Release up on the envelope when using the arp and it would expand virtually any patch, give it a sort of sustain/reverb effect. On the P6 it's really quite rare to be able to do that and it usually does nothing at all. Anyone have any idea why?

For the CV that you send to the Arp Trigger jack, is it normally-low that pulses high for each note, or is it normally-high that pulses low for each note.  If you're getting that sustain behavior, you might try coding it to be the other way.

(I'd check my Polysix, but it's buried behind another project at the moment.  In a couple days I ought to be able to check.)

Nice work, and keep sharing!
