Figured some of this out myself. In Config - CV1 when you press a
key you're selecting the lowest note on your midi keyboard. To
access gate polarity, CV Char and Retrigger you need to send program
change 1 - 6. There is no way to change them directly via the front
panel. Okay. So all I need to do is send program change 6 from my
Technics wsa1 or cubasis. I can't seem to get it to work though.
When I send the program change do I need to have CV1 selected Do I
need to patch into the ADSR retrig/gate aswell
