john,
certainly a very valid point well taken!!!!!
plus, they can be very simple and inexpensive circuits to build ( always a
point in anythings favor !! ) which makes putting 2,3 or 4 on a panel simpler.
don`t know if this has ever been broached on the list before but what about a
modified adsr where the "s" isn`t a level but rather sets a sustain time ( ie
: envelope generator would fire from either a trigger or a gate but sustain
wouldn`t be affected by gate presence, it would be the time that the voltage
sat at the point on the decay curve and held until the set time duration was
over at which point the envelope would proceed to complete the "r" stage.
is this hard to do? does anyone besides me think it would be a useful
difference?
best,
dave
