RE: [Doepfer_a100] Envelope Generator Problem

2017-11-07 by Scott Rogers

Yes, definitely a gate. I was just using “trigger” because I’m concerned about the peak of the attack part of the envelope, not the sustain portion. Although, you can see in the waveforms shown in the video that the sustain level also changes. But all information could be helpful to understand and fix the problem.

 

Thanks

Hello

First of all: we speak of gates, not of triggers!
A trigger marks a timestamp of an event. A gate marks the duration and 
state between the two events(=triggers): key-press and key-release.

No. But the duration of the gate and the repeat rate of the gate may 
have an influence, if the attack/decay/release-times are not zero.

Usually the envelope-circuits are buffered by a switching stage against 
the incoming gate. Only in some vintage gear there are envelope 
circuits, which depend on the level of the gate (for example the 
envelope in the Roland System100 depends on the gate level).
