Re: sts in general (DADSR)

2002-07-10 by Kirk Degiorgio

I'm going by ear and not theory but I was experimenting with the Trig
input after reading the following from the Rich Gold book:

"The ADSR functions differently if the trig pulse is applied to the TRIG in
and not the GATE in.
When there is no input to the GATE, the output of the ADSR remains at the
voltage level set by
the Sustain pot. When the ADSR recieves a trigger pulse the voltage drops to
0 volts from this level
at a rate set by the release pot. The voltage then rises to the peak voltage
at a rate set by the Attack pot
and finally drops back to the level set by the Sustain pot at a rate set by
the Decay pot."

Is this the same function as you describe?

I have been messing around with triggering both the GATE and TRIG inputs
with different pulses, etc.

It's taught me not to be lazy with the Serge - I had just ignored the Trig
In before.
