[sdiy] exponential to exponential

[mark verbos]

Hi guys,

I hate to bring up subjects that have been done to death, but I noticed 
something wierd just now.  I have an ARP 2600 over here for a bit and I 
see that the VCA has both linear and exponential cv inputs. The ADSR 
envelope is normalled to the exponential input. The envelope is clearly 
an RC curve, so it violates the linear-exponential rule we always go 
back to around here. Could it be that this is the secret behind the 
percussive reputation of the 2600? I have gotten some really snappy 
stuff out of this thing and have not patched around the normal.

This makes me consider whipping up one of these VCA's and replacing the 
awful one in my Avatar. Maybe even patching the ADSR into the 
exponential  in.

Any comments?
