This will set the TKB to a random stage

The CLOCK is how the TKB is stepped through its stages.

RESET set the TKB to stage 1.
HOLD stops the TKB at the current stage, even if receiving clock signals
"<>" If this is the new simbol for the old UP/DOWN jack (I beleive it
is) then when this jack is high the TKB will cycle in the opposite
direction.

There have been several "versions" of the front panel. I'll leave this
to someone else.

The GATE input cycles the ADSR through its normal cycle. Sustain is held
as long the Gate is High. The trigger input is different when there is
no gate input. It takes the voltage from the level set by the sustain
conrol to 0v (release pot control) to +5 (set by the attack pot) back to
the sustain voltage (set by the decay pot). Using both inputs makes a
complex envelope (trigger while gate is high).
