Roland System 100m

Hi Robert

A bit more info on the gate signal.  The 100M gate generator circuit 
diagram shows the Gate ouput to be from -0.96V to +13.6V and the 
Trig output to be from 0V to +15V.  The Env Generator gate input 
threshold is shown to be about +3V.  So you should be able to use 
any gate/trig that swings from about 0V to at least +3V and all the 
way up to +15V.  In fact the Env input has protection allowing even 
bidirectional signals to be used as a gate.  Try using the LFO and 
S/H Clock outputs to trigger the Env Generators.

Cheers
Tony
