Peter,

Which output of the A-119 did you use? We´ve got the audio out, the 
envelope out and the gate out.
I suppose you took the gate out because otherwise the position of the 
threshold pot would not influence the patch.
...but I´m not quite sure right now...
My first thought was like: Okay, as soon as the joystick is moved, a 
voltage higher than threshold appears and a gate is being started. But I 
forgot that even when the joystick is kept in one position, there still 
is a voltage produced (except in center position (?)) and the gate of 
the A-119 is still open.  

So what  is going on in this patch??!! Indeed, really strange behavior ;-)

cheers,
Paul
