Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

The below has bad typos. Sorry. I meant to say, turn down the level 
of OSC4, then set the destination of ENV3 to OSC4 Level (not OSC3), 
then set the destination of one of the sequencer tracks to ENV3 
Amount.

Such allows you to have a sequencer track control OSC4 with a 
different VCO envelope than for whatever other OSCs are being 
triggered by other sequencer tracks.

env. than the rest: Turn say OSC4 level down to 0, then set ENV3 
destination to OSC3, create your desired envelope3 (that should be 
different than the regular VCA Env to make this be worthwhile), set 
ENV3 level to 0, then set say SEQ4 destination to ENV3 Level. Now 
you can control at what times you hear OSC4 and when you do, it will 
be a different envelope than the other OSCs being heard in the 
sequence. Of course ENV3 will always fire at the same time as the 
other envelopes, but that doesn't mean you can islolate an instance 
of ENV3/OSC4 by having the levels on other oscs to zero when 
appropriate.

16, giving the appearance of a 32 note sequencer. (also the filter 
turns over after 32 as well). Totally great!
