UNCONDITIONAL CONTOURS
The UNCONDITIONAL CONTOUR switch (10.2) governs the way the attack and release stages of
the CONTOUR GENERATORS act. In the CONDITIONAL state (with the switch off), the release stage
comes in immediately upon the release of a key, regardless of how far along the contour has gotten. In
the UNCONDITIONAL state (with the switch on), if you hit a note, the attack stage will complete itself
and then go immediately into the release stage whether you're holding down the note or not. The fact
that the attack stage completes itself without your having to hold down the note enables you to set up
long attack times, play a note or notes on the keyboard, start playing another keyboard instrument, and
have what you played on the Memorymoog fade in and out.

PLAY ONE NOTE QUICKLY WITH THE SWITCH OFF. YOU WON'T
HEAR THE NOTE; WITH IT ON, THE NOTE WILL FADE IN.
Set up the CONTOURS like this and play a note on the keyboard quickly. With the UNCONDI-
TIONAL switch off, if you play fast enough, you won't hear the note at all. With the UNCONDITIONAL
switch on, the note will fade in even after you've let up on the note.
