200e

Wait, so the 281 in sustain mode, the sustain level pot value sets the 
trigger voltage as well ?

That seems immensely cool!  A great shared function, like a built in 
comparator of sorts.

I wonder if it was intentional?

hm, this is a little misleading... both the 281e and the 281 produce pulses
a little shy of +12v but actually respond at considerably lower thresholds:
about +8.4v to trigger and +4 (or a little less) to sustain.

i'm looking at one of each right now just to make sure... interestingly, the
281 triggers at the sustain voltage when in sustain mode. behold: a bug,
methinks!

anyway, you will be fine with the continuum. again, basically nowhere in the
200e series will > +10v have any additional effect.

sorry... that's not what i mean. in fact there is no sustain level pot...

 i just mean that the (old!) 281's trigger with a pulse input below 5v
in sustain mode, when they're technically supposed to trigger just
below 10v and sustain at 5v. it's not really very exciting...
