SHAPE knobs
In envelope mode, SHAPE varies the attack-release times of the envelope generator. Turn SHAPE
to the TRIG position and it becomes a decay envelope triggered by GATE IN.
In LFO mode, SHAPE varies the symmetry of the LFO output.
Turn SHAPE to the TRIG position and it becomes a falling sawtooth LFO that is re-triggered
(synced) by GATE IN events.
These parameters do not have voltage control CV inputs.
GATE OUT jacks
In LFO mode, GATE OUT is a pulse wave with fixed amplitude of 5 volts.
In envelope mode, the output is an inverted gate. When the GATE IN is inactive, and the
envelope is settled, the output is high (+5V). When you trigger the GATE IN, GATE OUT
goes low (0V) until the envelope expires, then goes high again.
Therefore you can use GATE OUT as a variable gate delay. For example, if you patch
MOD 1 GATE OUT to MOD 2 GATE IN, it works as a 2-stage envelope generator.

Gate Delay example with Gate Out
Time delay factor is adjustable with RATE knob.
Frequency divider example with LFO in TRIG mode.
If the LFO is retriggered before it completes 1/3 of a
cycle, the output is a stair-step waveform at a frequency
equal to the input divided by a whole number.
... That is to say, triggering the LFO rapidly can do
interesting and useful things!
