The MOTM-800 provides the standard ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release) envelope for controlling VCAs, filters, and other CV inputs. Both positive-going (0V to +5V) and negative-going (0V to -5V) envelopes are simultaneously available.

Attack, Decay, and Release times can be set from 1ms to over 14 seconds using the smooth feel, conductive-plastic Bourns log pots.

The MOTM-800 actually can be operated in one of 3 modes:

GATE & TRIGGER: a full ADSR (Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release) cycle, with re-triggerable AD portion with GATE on and a new TRIGGER. GATE only: A-D-S-R using Roland "drop GATE" synths (SH-101, etc). MOTM-800s generate full ADSR cycles with GATE only. TRIGGER only: A-D cycle, useful for "stretching" drum pad envelopes.

Using a smaller pc board than other MOTM modules, the MOTM-800 can easily be assembled in 1 hour. However, the MOTM-800 still has all of the quality features of the larger modules: double-sided pc board with LPI solder mask, poured ground planes, 1/8" thick front panel, custom steel mounting bracket, and all parts including wire and solder!
