Re: More random EG thoughts

2000-02-04 by Hugo Haesaert

Hi All !

Hope there's no limit to the no of posts in any one day :)

On the peak issue .
I've only played a Mini a few times, eons ago, so my observations on 
this stem mostly from my time with the F\ufffdnix .  

It's EG1 has following controls :  Attack time, Peak time, Decay 
time, Sustain level, Release Time .  The Peak time gives control of 
how long the env remains at max level, turning the "shape" into a 
trapezoid .  When the time's up, the Decay kicks in .  At shorter A 
and D times this gives more "body" to the hit, as you get full volume 
or whatever for this short time .  The mini's envelopes are said to 
always do this .  Having a knob to control this "feature" is way more 
versatile .  The parameter is not voltage controlled though, in the 
F\ufffdnix .  Could be interesting to let pitch cv (or it's inverse) 
control (some of) this peak, or/and velocity, or/and whatever .  As 
you see, this parameter has to be built into the EG itself .

Ha, ascimatic is fun :)

Now combine this with sustain at zero V for extra enjoyment ...
i hope .

Fog cleared up ?

Take care .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
