Without understanding all the options (sorry, you guys are a little fast for
me today; my brain is swamped in job-related work!), I think I like this
option the best. I'd really like to have some kind of multi-stage EG, and
this is a great way to do it. I think I would make it an ASR, with the END
trigger occur at the end of the sustain (or perhaps in addition to one at
the end of the decay?), so that you don't have to drop-to-zero to begin the
next (chained) stage. Although... mixing the signals might prove tricky,
due to the addition of control from the simultaneous decay and attack.
Might need a ∗real∗ quick decay...?
--PBr, confused with all the options...
