Elektor Formant Modular

Hi Mark,

I have brought the gate in from the ADSR to the front panel and added a
switch to toggle between intern and extern gate. Works fine. i. e plug
an lfo in the extern gate and you have a repeated adsr.
Global cv and gate: Just bring the bus out and install a switch to
toggle between intern and extern.

Harald
