To me, it would seem that the ideal VCADSR would have: Knobs for: Delay Attack Peak Hold Decay Sustain Release (I could live without peak hold, but have used it on some synths and it *is* kinda nice to have... initial (or 'Gate') delay seems rare on ADSRs but is VERY useful. Either it should be built in, or possibly for more flexibility, should be a different module. As a separate module, both the attack and release of the gate can be separately controllable, and the unit can be used for more than just controlling a single ADSR, of course.) For jacks, obviously you would want VC over as many of the above individual parameters as possible. But it would be nice if there was a way, as Eric hinted, to 'distribute' yet another CV input that would affect several of the parameters simultaneously. So that a higher CV, say, could dramatically sharpen the attack, slightly extend the decay, somewhat raise the sustain, greatly extend the release... you get the idea. Seems like it would end up being a nightmarish 5u panel, though. I guess it could be implemented with a microprocessor to add complexity and save panel space, but then we start drifting away from the beauty of analog and lots o' knobs. Although DoMoaS sounds like it could be used a s a complex contour generator, it would seem a shame to tie up such a device with enveloping functions.
