[sdiy] ADSR Trigger/Retrigger behaviour

[David G Dixon]

I just really love the sound of the classic analog synthesizers, and that is
what got me into it in the first place.  Sure, there are all kinds of things
one can do with a modular (which, in my view, often make every modular
player sound exactly like every other modular player, but nevermind), but
it's the sound I'm talking about.  You can tart up (or f**k up) the sound
with all sorts of modulations, but the basic sound is that of an analog
subtractive synthesizer, and that's what I like.

Different strokes.
