Yo.

Bringing my head above ground here for a second to give you the 
scoop on a very easy, yet effective modification to the Quad A/R 
Gen, the A-143-1.

As you know, I like long envelopes.  Adding a ON-OFF-ON switch 
which will short in two additional caps across the 143-1's 
'money' (timing) cap will get you there if you want by adding the 
very same range switch function inherent on the  Doepfer ADSR.

I've uploaded a diagram into the photos section of this 
yahoogroup (pardon the snap - it was done on my cell phone).  
It's entotled A143-1mod.jpg. It shows the mod itself (easy) and 
where I opted to locate the switches, which nestled in neatly in 
the blank area above the Voltage Output jacks of EG's 2, 3 and 4.  
In that there wasn't an easy way to integrate the switch into the 
first EG, I left that one alone.

Using an ON-OFF-On switch allows you to to take the additional 
caps out of the circuit altogether if you care to (switch resting in 
the center position).

BTW - this mod can be added to any EG.  All you have to do is 
find the timing cap and short additional caps over it.  In this 
specific mod, I used a 47uf on one side of the switch and a 
150uf on the other.  So, long and loooooong.  

enjoy (or not!)
