strange VCA envelope behaviour

2013-02-16 by james meagher

Last night while programming away blissfully I suddenly noticed that the Decay and Release on my VCA were acting oddly. Instead of diminishing amplitude gradually they would simply go from "on" to "off". How long it took for them to create complete silence was still programmable with the sliders . . . but even a very long release would garner no gradual loss of amplitude, only a very long delay at full amplitude before sudden, complete silence. 

Turning the Polaris off and on again rectified the issue, but I'm just wondering if there's anything (any part) I should be concerned about and perhaps making a preventative order?

Cheers,
James
