[sdiy] Simple AR tips

[Peng]

Thanks for the tips. I'll investigate the diode compensation and report back later. But this looks like what I'm lookin' for:
Harry Bissell's MorphLag circuit http://www.wiseguysynth.com/larry/schematics/Morph-Lag.htm

 

Thanks,

You didn't give us a link to the schematic, but it sounds like you are 
seeing a common symptom of simple EGs. As the envelope decays towards 
zero, the resistance of the switching diode becomes large, increasing the 
RC time constant. I also find those tails highly annoying. There are 
simple circuits available for compensating for the diode drops. I like 
these better than just truncating the response, which I believe is what you 
are describing.
