Hi John n All !

An excellent design for multi stage eg's are those on the EPS16+
sampler . Each stage has a time and two different levels . The
actual point used , between these two is dependent on a modulation
input . Zillions of possibilities . Should be �C based methinks,
too expensive otherwise, one set of knobs per section does not limit
the number of sections, as pure hardware would :) . A connection to
(Do)Moas could give separate controls to each section, provided the
Domoas front panel could be made multi-functional .

I would not drop the Moas/Domoas distinction . While the latter may
be in this year's pipeline, the former should remain up there, as a
dream to aspire to ;-) , even if realization is currently not on the
cards .

In the spirit of MOTM i'd suggest adding a Peak time parameter
between the a and d . Adds oodles of punch to sounds that need it .
With fairly fast attack and decay settings and low sustain, the
initial "hit" can sound somewhat frail . A small full range peak
does make a big difference . The F�nix has this on it's EG1, and
it's been said that this is one of the very characteristic Minimoog
traits .

Bye for now .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
