200e

falling edge: that i extrapolated from a post by ezra buchla (msg
#618) where he explains about pulses used for clocking a sequencer. he
wrote: ... you could also use an analog pulse as a clock any voltage
with a
(>=10v) -> (<10v) transition will work as long as the voltage source
and the 200e share a ground. ... which I interpreted as triggering on
the falling edge of the pulse. But maybe I'm completely wrong, that's
why I asked.
