Well, it isn't quite that simple. You want the output levels to be
independent of the gate level, so that requires internal gate
processing. You also want a good curve on the release, so it reaches
cutoff at zero after a reasonable time. A nice example for an AR EG is
found in Electronotes #92, p. 13. Ian Fritz published a design that
derived from an earlier idea by Carl Hovey in EN#31. I would use
different gate processing than Ian's, which is TTL based. I am thinking
of breadboarding this on a MUUB-4 and entering the contest. It will be
interesting to compare three different AR EGs on the MUUB-4, with 1, 2,
or 4 EG circuits.
