Tony, 

Yes, the panel is getting better... I think "slope" or "step slope" might work for
the "shape" switch.

A simple momentary pushbutton switch that acts like a pulse into the gate input
would be just the ticket.  Such a button is on the ARP 2600.  It triggers both EGs
when pressed and holds at the sustain level until released.  

If I may speak for "everybody", such a momentary switch would be very cool. 
Especially if you run in sequencer mode.  Each press would advance the stage,
allowing you to set the levels appropriately.  Actually, the sequencer mode causes
me to rethink my position on the LEDs.  In sequencer mode, they are absolutely
necessary to show the active stage.

Perhaps I missed this but another cool thing in sequencer mode is for the time pots
to control the time for each step, with an override. 

Great stuff, I look forward to seeing one in my setup!
