Re: [ModularSynthPanels] Re: Ian Fritz AD/ AR PCBs!

2008-09-11 by Scott Deyo

Just counting, it looks like 3 seconds of delay, and the ADR can get 
around 13 seconds, though Ian in the notes only specifies around 7.
However, I used a 1M for attack because Mouser is out of 250K. I 
ordered 500K for production units.
I got 5-6 seconds attack, and 8 or more decay.

Cheers,
Scott Deyo
