200e

I have been thinking (again) about the 255. On the Buchla Modular list
Reed wrote the following a couple of years ago:

"Sorry to be so pro-255, but it's one heck of a useful module, or, as
David Kean calls it, "a Swiss Army knife." Fire a pulse into one of
those holes and it's an envelope generator. With any Buchla stuff
it's good to have extra attenuators & inverters lying around (and if
you have any 100-series modules it's a godsend). Not to mention the
luxury of being able to pepper the tiniest soupcon of lag to smooth
clicks out of certain patches. I wish it had Schmitt triggers,
though."

From this description it sounds like a very useful module; attenuation
and inversion of CV, extra envelopes when 281 is occupied with other
tasks, lag.

I assume the following:

1. With multiplier knob at 12 o'clock no CV is passed through.
2. With multiplier knob at fully CW input and output is identical
(assuming no lag applied)
3. With multiplier knob at fully CCW output is a fully inverted
version of input* (assuming no lag applied)
4. +Lag is lag on rising CV, -Lag is lag on falling CV.
5. When lag knobs are set fully CCW no lag at all is applied to CV out.

*) I assume inverted in this case means voltages goes below zero. How
does 200e modules react to negative voltage? The 256e seems to have a
different form of inversion where i believe the voltage is inverted
within the positive range.

Am i right? Can someone who has one please reply?

(If there are enough "yes" answers to these statements i might be
interested in trading a 259e for one of these + cash, anyone
interested)

Thanks
