Attack Bug

Attack Bug

2003-02-04 by pocketd@gmx.de

Hi,

did not know if someone already got it,

there´s a bug connecting attack in Patchcords,

1 LFO+ -> VolAtt or FiltAtt ->00
2 Midi M -> Cord Amount 1->-100

If you turn MIDI M now nothing happens, but if you set the  patchcord amount
manual it works, that bug 
seems not for decay and release envelope stages,

I´m getting really deeper in it, and I love that machine now a lot cause you
can create everything fast and 
easy without stopping the groove.
My first mistake was just getting into stupid turning knobs before I
realized to go into groove, a sound has no 
right to be if it´s not in the groove, well I believe in the way that Brian
Eno has shown us,
Cy,
Christoph


Thanx to Aaron, of course you`re right, freak

Try reordering those two cords.  In general, cords that modify the
amount of another cord should be placed in an earlier slot than the
cord they're modifying.

This is because the cords (unlike an analog synth) run sequentially
instead of simultaneously.  Most often this doesn't cause a problem,
but in this case, by the time the second cord updates the first, the
attack has already occurred.

This also occurs with Vel->Amp, CC->CordAmt combinations, causing a
blip of sound at low velocities before the cord kicks in.

By the way, every synth quick has it's uses too.  Because cords run
sequentially, you can create "filters" with the patch bay with multiple
cords, using the order of the cords as a delay element.  You can also
create "latching" cords to perform effects like sostenuto with the
patchbay too.

Very interesting!  That should be added to the manual :)
