hello all,
this bias thing is very interesting (and i thought i'd managed a quite
respectable stroll up the learning curve) especially the Koto envelope
application posted the other day (thank you - i forgot who it was tho)
not having a biased EG, i assume with a bit of tweaking, i could put an
inverter with offset over the MOTM EG to simulate this..? however i've yet
to build an inverter (any minute now tho), and it probably not work anyway -
does anyone else have this problem or is it "just a phase i'm going through"
i can fix midi-port on an OB8, i can trace & repair nasty 1k plus point
patch bays, i can build MOTM kits with my eyes close - but  i just cannot
string together a six component circuit from scratch
anyway - we'll see in a minute, yesterday's frequency doubler (seven parts)
didn't work, and so today's envelope follower with exponential lag &
inverter has been cancelled in favour of an inverter, and an exponential
lag - lets hope at least one of them works...

and by the way Paul S (FoMoaM) - what what that cryptic comment about the
MS20 envelope follower..? I've got an MS-03 which i assume is the same
circuit but with a few frills (like tunable 1v/Oct and proper gate output) -
is there something i should know..? (well apart from it's crap)

cheers
