 +Here as background is the trigger characteristic of some drum machines.

I'm not sure if this is correct.\\  [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CV/Gate#Gate|Wikipedia]] says that Roland and Sequential gear is V-Trig {normal low, set high to trigger} and Moog, Korg and Yamaha is S-Trig {normal high, set low to trigger}.  The [[http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:IBefydaCrJIJ:www.kentonuk.com/kmanualspdf/psoloman.pdf+%22V-trig%22+edge&hl=en&gl=au&ct=clnk&cd=5&client=firefox|manual]] for the Kenton Pro Solo MIDI-CV converter says: " ... Most synths / sequencers & drum machines will want the Positive edge pulse, but a few require the Negative edge instead. (e.g. Korg Monopoly) .. " I've also seen written elsewhere that the 606 trigger out is V-Trig, but the 707 internal triggering for it's own voices is S-Trig\\ Also, if the trailing edge was the trigger, how would gates and envelopes work ie ADSR when AD happens at leading edge, D as gate is held high, and R when gate drops low? - Bunsen//
