    CS-8 Series DTG Rev1.3, July 2020 Hint 2: A positive voltage at every of the overall 8 CV-control jacks with a scale of 1 V/decade has an accelerating effect, means that the times of the phases will be reduced by a factor of 10 with every applied volt.
  • Page 18 CS-8 Series DTG Rev1.3, July 2020 the Gate output. Jack 5 selects via a control voltage between "Gate" mode and "Delay" mode. +5 V selects "Gate", 0 V selects "Delay". It lies via an internal switching contact at +5 V and, so, pre-selects normally the "Gate" mode. As soon as a cable is plugged in, even if the other end is open, the "Delay"...

    CS-8 Series DTG Rev1.3, July 2020 The attack phase is following now a hold phase, before the decay phase starts. But in case of returning the active Env-Gate input from +5 V to 0 V it is usually explicit desired to finish the hold phase, immediately and return to the release phase.
