Thanks Florian (and thanks again for the SPV-355 info!)

I will look into changing the caps, but the mod I was referring to was the "External Input to Comparator" that I posted here a week or two ago, which I did to access the comparators in both the A-199 and A-142.  

But as Dieter pointed out, the more I considered this patch, the less I believed it would work.  The AND output would be a gate stream at audio rate, rather than a held-high gate.  If Dieter's future "gate delay" module could be adapted to delay based on the FIRST zero crossing ONLY, that might work, but I wouldn't know how to design such a circuit.  

Dieter, would the signal based on CV changes be similar to the Gate Out on the A-156?
