Hi James,
thanks for doing this! I just have one comment: I am missing an explicit mention of the
DSG (and DTGs) behavior to ignore any signal at their TRIG INs for as long as they are
producing envelopes. While this is the reason why DSG/DTG can do such wonderful things
as acting as subharmonic generators / frequency counters, it is also the reason why it
can't act as a real AD envelope, which can be a pain when setting up more conventional
sounds (e.g. non-self-playing percussive sounds that are triggered by a keyboard or
sequencer).
I wish I'd spend more thought about this detail while putting together my custom panel to
complement my Animal, which is now missing an ADSR. Luckily there are the DUAL ADSR
M-CLASS available...which means making a new custom case.
Best regards,
Jan-Hinnerk
