Waveform City as a voltmeter

2002-10-13 by gcmci

The other day, Grant told me of an very useful patch with a 
Waveform City that helped me to troubleshoot a patch involving ghost 
errant triggering when the last gate out of a Sequantizer was used to 
step a second Sequantizer.  

	Setting the Waveform City to Bank 0 and Wave 0, and turning the 
ENV to maximum, it will act as a voltmeter, measuring the voltage from 
the WAVE ENV input.  

	From this, I could see that the gate out was performing properly.  
Grant surmised that ghost triggering must be tiny glitches that were 
triggering the very sensitive gate inputs of the Wiard. By passing the 
trigger through a vca found on the oscillator (which is actually a 
bidirectional slew), the problem was solved.

	I now use this "Voltmeter" patch all the time.

Thanks, Grant!
