OK Envelator tips and tricks!

Since there are two envelators I will use 1 on the left and 2 on the 
right. It doesn't matter though.

1. Shorting OUT+ of 1 to OUT+ of 2 in cycle mode will make the 
Envelators alternate. This is the same as patching END1 to 
GATE2 and END2 to GATE1.

2. Shorting SQR1 to SQR2 will produce hard synch in cycle 
mode. You can also run an external oscillator into the SQR 
output to produce hard synch.

3. Use the mixer at the bottom as a logic inverter to get 
quadrature operation like the Buchla. Patch SQR1 to MIXMOD 
input and set the MIXMOD control to max. Set MIX to minimum. 
Put a dummy plug in MIX2. Route 10 volts from a Joystick set to 
maximum to MIX1. The MIX output is now the inverted version of 
SQR1. If you route that to GATE2, the second envelator will start 
it's attack exactly when the first envelator finishes it's attack and 
enters decay phase.

4. For chaotic function generation, patch AMOD1 and DMOD1 to 
OUT+2 and/or OUT-2. The patch AMOD2 and DMOD2 to the 
outputs of envelator 1. Put both in cycle mode. This is the classic 
"tail chasing" oscillators that was used in the original 
demonstration of chaotic systems. Listen at the MIX ouput. You 
will have to set both attack and decay controls to less than 
maximum. Try various settings of A,D,AMOD and DMOD for 
different effects.
