Re: [motm] More Questions about EG's

2004-09-02 by Jeff Laity

AHDSR. The hold period happens before the decay. The Minimoog does this 
naturally which is one of the reasons that it is considered "punchy."

Check out the envelopes on an Alesis Andromeda. Delay and hold, two 
release segments, loopable segments, ability to modulate almost every 
segment, seven different shapes for each segment (exponential, reverse 
exponential, linear, s-curve, etc.), freerun modes, dynamics control, 
etc. Sorry to drift off-topic, but that unit has the best-implemented 
envelopes I've encountered. It doesn't quite sound like a MOTM though, 
unfortunately for me. :)
