[sdiy] Envelope recorder (was Re: SSM2164 base for Doepfer sdiy synth kit.)

[Tom Wiltshire]

Nice idea, Michael.

I've been wondering about joysticks too. I wanted to build a kind of "envelope recorder" with a slider control. The idea was that instead of a normal envelope, you'd press a 'record' button and then record the position of the slider over the next several seconds. You then be able to trigger the recording and play it back as an envelope curve. Perhaps you could speed it up too. Then I realised that you could use a joystick for the recording and do two dimensions at once.

I'll probably get around to it one year soon.
