MOTM

No offense taken....
What I meant though was that I got them to work. with an LFO it's easy (and you can 
actually get a cool effect with it, it kicks in randomly while you're playing. I think you're 
right - from what I see, when the LFO goes into negative it turns the slewing off 
completely) I also controlled the amount of slewing with an EG, which I think is more like 
what you're saying.
At first I was thinking of the CV inputs the wrong way, that's why I wasn't hearing 
anything.

Thanks!

More experimenting to do...
