Re: Envelope Generator Problem

2017-11-07 by acgenerator@att.net

1) I'd check the behavior with another trigger source that leaves the MIDI module out of it as Ville suggested. It'll help isolate the problem source.
2) one theory is that with a single note, the voltage actually starts at 0v but with many notes voltage hasn't quite dispersed when the envelope is retriggered with successive notes. You many lose a bit of voltage on the triggers as you are connecting between modules/ patched between separately powered circuits.
3) Are you connected simultaneously to the BUS from any of the modules involved? Perhaps isolating them may help. (variation of #2 in that you may lose voltage to the BUS on the first note)
4) The sample rates of the digital chips / internal clocks involved but it could also be a minor contributor. Sound happens fast enough when you press a key so you don't notice it on single notes. With a secondary notes, you notice the envelope doesn't quite respond the same way after a NoteOff/NoteOn so you can tell via the pitch/CV change. All-in-one synths tend to have a system that has synced timings.
