This in concerning problem #1, the 800s shooting up over 6 volts based on knob settings and playing style. I've tried everything to get those MOTM-800s to behave with no luck. Those included using the addition of a trigger from the Kenton (Paul's recommendation), trying a Doepfer Midi-CV module, trying a straight CV and Gate output from a Jupiter-8. No change in behavior at all. My Doepfer envelopes work just as expected with no increasing voltages building up no matter how I set them, although they needed a trigger fed into their retrig input to get multi-triggering to work from the Kenton for some reason. The MOTM doesn't need that. And I've noticed what Craig Critchley mentioned. If I bring the Attack up past 2, then these voltage problems mysteriously go away, but so does the percussive Attack. The question is whether Paul / somebody can look into a mod that can be done to correct this problem? I'm trying to synthesize percussive Carlos type sounds and need to play Bach with all kinds of fast ornamentation which seems to be the worst case senario for the MOTM envelopes. And I'm sure others who actually play the keyboard must be running into the problem too. It's plagued me from day one. Using Doepfer envelopes is only a temporary and messy fix. -Elhardt
