Hi Larry and all,
I think having a fixed complicated envelope freezes expression, since once you get that
form repeated (= triggered again) it losts it's interest.
One way to obtain complex and expressive control "forms" is to capture gestures with
sensors (photocells, pressure sensors, thremin-like, etc) Very easily you get your
multisegment forms, unique and lively since they came from real gestures...
I'd also like a very versatile CV ADSR, may be CV DADSR, like Aaron Cram's EnvyLope.
You can perform many functions with it (LFO, gated LFO, Slew...) and you can chain many
of them if you wish to get 4, 8, 12, 16 stages...
It seems to have very fast minimum rates as well (less than 500 usec)
The other aproach I find interesting is the positive and negative slew as in the very old
Serges. You have every slope independent so you can chain as many as you want.
Or something like the -old and current- Serge vc slope generator, where you have a
positive (ascending) and a negative (descending) slewing and an end pulse so you can also
chain many of them if you want. And use sustain if you like.
Just my two cents,
Fernando
