Re: Evolver attack envelope

2008-04-03 by wilsontherocker

I'm fairly certain Sustain isn't a destination in the modulation
slots, but Release is. So, not knowing exactly how EWIs work, I think
if you're not triggering any notes and lowering the breath amount,
then yes, you should be able to trigger a "fresh" envelope.

Also, VCA level is a modulation destination, so (again, I'm ignorant
about EWIs) theoretically you could control the amp envelope with
nothing but your breath amount! 

Back in high school I was a trumpet player, so there's definitely a
part of me that would love to use an EVI (or something that responds
to trumpet fingerings) with my evolver. 

And the comment about the Blofeld being a toy is nonsense. As long as
it has breath control as a mod source (and I'd assume it does), either
one of the synths you mentioned will give you tons of possibilities
and good sounds.
