on long enough for SG #2 to rise. But then if you just wanted AD you
would use a different patch anyway.
I have a question about the ADSR module. The Gold book says that if you
use the TRIG input rather than GATE, you first get a release phase from
the sustain level, then an attack, then a decay. But I don't see a
release phase on mine - just attack / decay. Is my module defective?
Also, the ADSR is rather odd in that if *any* output is patched to
GATE, even if it's sitting at 0V, the ADSR output is 0 - but if nothing
is patched it's at the sustain level. I'm not enough of an electrical
engineer to really understand what's going on there, but in any case,
are there any other modules that behave this way? Intuitively, it is
strange for a module to distinguish between a 0 signal and nothing
patched.
Cheers,
