The chip's envelope generator is sensitive to the key velocity and also to the length of time since the key was last played."</span></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">That last point is really interesting. On most musical instruments, repeatedly playing the same note does NOT generate a series of identical-sounding notes, as it would on a synthesiser. I’ve never played a Polymoog…. How does this work in practice? Is it convincing/useful?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
