Re: [Doepfer_a100] Dark Energy: Velocity + ADSR

2011-05-30 by andy butler

It's not possible without additional hardware.
To combine the ADSR with velocity they need to be multiplied together,
rather than added, and the DE simply doesn't have that feature available.

So, you'd need another VCA. 



Don't know if you can get "good enough" by:-

Set VCA source to ADSR,
turn up AM full.
Patch CV3 to VCA A.

Then starting with 
Attack 0
Decay ??
Sustain 10
Release 0

..and messing with VCA Amp control

it *may* be possible that while the Velocity 
is still changing the amplitude the ADSR is strong enough to
keep on gating the signal.

If it works, then it might be worth fiddling with the Sustain and Decay controls
and see if anything useful occurs, ...but I suspect that using the Attack control
will give the problem of a delay to the start of the note.


I haven't tried it , just guessing.



At the risk of telling you the obvious, you might like to patch
CV3 to VCF F

...or maybe someone else figured this out much better than I did ;-)
