Subject: Re: [motm] More Questions about EG's

Noticed some mentioning trigger delay or EG Delay stage. I posted sometime ago ways to accomplish different Doepfer module functions on MOTM since the MOTM doesn't have those functions. I pointed to at least 2 or 3 ways to do a trigger delay. Search the archives, probably for Doepfer in the title. Also the Encore UEG can be set up to do a delay stage I believe.

Most of the major polysynths including my JP8, JP6 and Memorymoog have a limited form of VC-ADSR. The decay portion (maybe release) can vary with the kybd voltage. As you know, the note decay of all acoustic percussion and plucked string instruments gets shorter with higher pitches. That's why those companies included it.

Also, there's nothing stopping you from setting up two EG's with two different settings and switching between the two using the MOTM VC Switch module. Hit a key softly and get one type of envelope, hit a key hard and get another.
