Does anyone know anything about the synth Casio made for Tomita? As far as I know, it was extremely impressive but I don t think it made it any further than

I thought more about the curvature of the envleopes which is sort of less important -- I agree the timing should be always measured in millliseconds, anything

Are you thinking this because hardware envelopes depend on RC circuits and their non linear time constants and software envelopes don t? You have a point, but

Jon, if the envelopes are software, they may well be composed of straight lines. Maxim
