Cgs synth

Well,

That only took 5 minutes for me to change my mind. In
consideration of cost/logic/reason and all other
important factors, the best thing for me goes right
back to the simple AD pcb (with a switch for AR if
desired) that has an end out (gate out) jack or an
output jack that uses the same idea as the Slope
Generator "falling" out section. This would allow the
end user to build as many as makes sense for his or
her set up. The signals could all be mixed with
mixers.

My thoughts immediately jumped to the gate stage
selection which could be accomplished by the following
method. "Normalize" the gate out of each consequtive
module to the Gate Input Jack of the next with the
switching jack on the Switchcraft 112a. This would
trigger each section to follow the previous. The end
(gate) out jacks could then be mixed on a second mixer
with rests/skips being controlled by "not" plugging in
certain sections.

If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. We build
modulars for a reason right. I started to build out my
envelope sequencer on paper and the $$$ signs started
to rise and rise on cost to build. Sectional,
patchable, and simple stackable AD/AR envelopes are
the most cost-effective and most flexible in overall
sales factor. Maybe all of this stuff is possible with
Ken's ADSR he has been planning already by simply not
building out the S and R stages? Glad to have the list
to throw these ideas around though! All my best,

Thomas
