I, too, would love a VC EG. I only fairly recently got the tip of altering
the decay based on note pitch on a EG tied to a VCA. I.E., high pitch
sounds die quickly, while bass sounds sustain. Duh. Maybe there's an
easier way of accomplishing this?
I've been reading the Sound On Sound "Synthesis Secrets" series of articles
to get me up to speed on modular synthesis. The last two have dealt with
EGs, in particular complex EGs. I'm looking forward to slaughtering some
brass-like sounds.

household expenses, and BUYING MORE GEAR!
