I'm sorry, I was going to stay out of this but....
I have two VC DADSR's (Modcan EG O4A's). In looking at most of the
patches I've been creating lately, there are very few that do NOT use VC
control of at least one EG parameter.
If I had to break it down:
%60 of the time:Either attack or decay
%30 of the time: Sustain level or release
%10 of the time: Delay Time
Of course, everybody patches differently, but to me, it's ∗so∗ important
to be able to have control over these parameters to bring some variance
into the sound. A harder struck percussion sound is going to attack and
decay differently than a softly struck one, for example.
I know Paul usually goes "....Yawn" whenever this discussion comes up
(check the archives), but I personally find VC control of EG parameters
to be extremely useful.
