Hi John n All !

An excellent design for multi stage eg's are those on the EPS16+ 
sampler .  Each stage has a time and two different levels .  The 
actual point used , between these two is dependent on a modulation 
input .  Zillions of possibilities .  Should be \ufffdC based methinks, 
too expensive otherwise, one set of knobs per section does not limit 
the number of sections, as pure hardware would :) .  A connection to 
(Do)Moas could give separate controls to each section, provided the 
Domoas front panel could be made multi-functional .

I would not drop the Moas/Domoas distinction .  While the latter may 
be in this year's pipeline, the former should remain up there, as a 
dream to aspire to ;-) , even if realization is currently not on the 
cards .

In the spirit of MOTM i'd suggest adding a Peak time parameter 
between the a and d .  Adds oodles of punch to sounds that need it .  
With fairly fast attack and decay settings and low sustain, the 
initial "hit" can sound somewhat frail .  A small full range peak 
does make a big difference .  The F\ufffdnix has this on it's EG1, and 
it's been said that this is one of the very characteristic Minimoog 
traits .

Bye for now .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
