The main problem is trying to change the clock as a gate stream to a pulse
stream to avoid the sustain stage of the USG. I just took the gates from the
clock or whatever into the trigger in on one part of the USG with the attack
and decay set to zero. Take the output of this input the input of the other
part of the USG and set your slopes accordingly. The attack time of the
first usg seemed plenty fast to not have to use the gate and go through an
inverter etc. Any objections to this approach?

As an aside, if you are using the USGs as a envelope with a sustain stage,
the level of the sustain is equal to the voltage present at the input.
Sticking an attenuator on your gates gives nice control of the height. I'm
particularly fond of running the gates through a vca of some sort using a
sin to set the envelope height.

Another good USG envelope trick is to use you sequencer outs to control
"chains" of sustain stages for more complex envelope shapes!

I probably should invest in a whole panel of USGs at some point as they are
by far my favorite module on the whole planet in any system!
