Re: True AD EG

2004-09-11 by John Loffink

Here's the patch. It will take two stages of a DTG or DSG with the post
1994 GATE OUTs as opposed to the old END out, as well as a scaling processor
stage.

GATE to TRIG IN on first DSG stage, set Rise/Fall to short values. GATE OUT
gives an inverted trigger.

GATE OUT of first DSG stage to Scaling Processor INPUT2, Bias with +5V on
Input 1 and full invert of INPUT2 (you could also use a Dual Processor).
This gives a positive biased trigger.

OUTPUT of Scaling Processor to second DSG stage INPUT. OUTPUT is your
triggered AD. Set Rise and Fall to taste, but if Fall exceeds the time
between GATES then you'll get envelopes that retrigger at the falling slope
point, which is normal retriggerable envelope action.
