Envelope generator

Envelope generator with rise and fall control, sustain AR and no-sustain AD modes, rise and fall modulation.

Cv inputs for rise and fall with the ability to to loop the evolope :pinched_fingers: question is how fast can this thing go?! :smirk:

Also something like this would be a great teaching point. I remember the first time i came across “end of cycle trigger” didn’t have a clue for months what that was typically used for as id been accustomed to having a switch or button simply labelled “loop”. Then i quickly realised damn this isn’t just a fun new flexible modulation sorce but its also a whole new sound source as well! I think its things like this people miss out on

We have issue with time range right now, but the range can be fixed by tuning of the resistor values. I plan to implement rise/fall time from about 30 second up to 0.005 second (200 Hz), so you can use this module as LFO and even as signal oscillator

Hooray, big description update!

Wow, this is a flexible module!
At first I didn’t think much of it: one of those simplified envelopes, where you need two of them to build an ADSR. But often a two-stage envelope ist sufficient, and this analog gate input opens up so many more uses!

Versatility of the modules is what distinguishes a modular system from a sawed-apart monosynth. :wink:

I was inspired by Buchla envelope, Makenoise Function and another same ad/ar envelopes

Good news: envelope generator is ready!

Rise and fall time changes from 40 s to 10 ms, so you can use this module as envelope, as LFO, as slew limiter and as envelope follower.

I really like the result and I can’t wait for you to appreciate it too.
