Elektor Formant Modular

Hi Mark

The interface board supplies a clean +5 v gate pulse to the adsr modules. I guess when you apply this gate pulse to the correct point on the adsr connector/pc board, It should work, internal or external.
My adsr modules have external inputs on the panel, but that appears not to have been standard.
