What you want is an old keytek generator. I checked their 3/96 price list
and it looks like they don't make a module for their new ECAT system. The
UL waveshape really is a relic from the dawn of the surge simulation game.
It uses generation techniques that are basically incompatible to a large
extent with modern surge generators. If you can't find the keytek gear,
before I left CDI I designed a plugin set for their M5 surge generator
which mimicks the surge envelope with two modern plugin designs. Not
perfect, but it may be the best you can get.

CDI 508-264-4668
