Ben,

After sending the initial email I had progressed in connecting the
system up as you suggest underneath, except that I hadn't routed an
ADSR output to a VCA control input whilst setting the initial gain to
zero.
Thanks very much for your help....I'm now on my way !
Despite owning analogues for many years, this is my first stab at
using a modular system.It's amazing how much you DON'T know !

terry.
