[sdiy] Envelope attack smoothing for drum question

[Richie Burnett]

As others have said, make the behaviour consistent (repeatable) first. And then work out how much to filter (smooth) either the trigger signal or the audio output of the drum voice to control the attack transient.

Some broadband "click" is good in things like TR-808 drums because it adds definition and mimics stick or beater impact. The legendary 808 kick would be practically inaudible on cheap small speakers if it wasn't for the attack transient. But there's a pot that controls how much click you hear by lowpass filtering the output waveform by varying amounts. So you can have a deep mellow almost subsonic kick for a club mix, or a bright clicky "radio friendly" kick drum that cuts through the mix even on poor speakers or headphones.
