I've been playing around with VC EG ideas for some time.
I'd like to see 5 controllable parameters, delay, attack, decay,
sustain level and release. Ideally each parameter should have a
control knob and a CV knob. An additional input with knob which
would affect all time parameters (everything but sustain) could also
be useful. I also like the idea of being able to retrigger the EG
at the end of the cycle. The full-featured VC EG should also have a
trigger PB, and an LED indicator. Another interesting feature would
be the ability to switch in a larger cap for very long parameter
times. The delay section should not only delay the leading edge of
the gate, but the trailing edge as well, so that the original gate
length is preserved regardless of delay time. Sounds like at least
a 3U module to me.
I love the idea of controlling the attack length and sustain level
with the note on velocity and the release length with the note off
velocity. And adding the re-gate feature allows the module to be
used as an oscillator (sort of a trapezoidal osc.) even at extremely
long period lengths.
