Re: Faster Envelopes

2008-04-03 by Jason

I just got back into the Evolver myself, and I've been trying to
figure this out too.

On Carbon111's website, there is a programming tip from Mike Peake
regarding this topic. Here is the quote:

"Adding 'Punch' - Submitted by Mike Peake. Set the envelopes to
linear, and use a Mod to modulate AmpEnv All by itself (lin through
log responses with positive and negative self-modulation). This is of
course fun on the filter envelopes as well."

I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm a little confused by how it is
worded. The part that seems missing is: what type of Mod do you send
to the Amp Envelope? An LFO? That wouldn't quite make sense. I don't know.

Anyone else tried this out?

Here's a link to Carbon111's site:
