Re: [yamahacs80] Performance : questions and a request

Basically the note was sustaining with the RM in non modulated status (modulation and speed down, depth up) then the RM enveloped triggered without hearable note-off: I could assume the player used a S-II mode so to play something , leave the note sustain for a while, while setting the envelope and depth then killing it and at the same time triggering the RM; keep in mind that the performance was live, if I'm correct the RM has its short release even if the note sustains, being the sustained note not a note-on message (or not? ), then you can trigger the env even if the note is sustaining....am I wrong??

  "I listened to a sustained note ringing thru the ringmodulator"Do you
  mean an uneffected sustaining note???or one modulated by the RM but not
  affected by the EG of the RM???......All ring modulating oscillators
  will be affected the same by the EG ramp...None can sustain
  independently or unaffected unless the track on the recording was double
  tracked.....I have double tracked CS ring mod squeals myself and panned
  hard left and right the different parts...kind of like 2 cs80s talking
  to each other....when neither of them is Envelope modulating(set at the
  same base speed) they merge together in a monoish sound until either
  retriggers the EG....then it stereos out.......Is this kindof what you
  were talking about???I can think that the player did apply a Sustain on
  the note so the note held on and the envelope triggered again With this
  I can only assume that you are hearing a second carrier added to the
  first modulating EG which would follow the same tracking as the first
  triggers envelope....2 seperate envelope triggerings cant exist in the
  cs80 rm circuit simoutaneously....It is a mono envelope with first note
  priority....the first note must be released for a period of 200ms before
  the next trigger can start.....kinda like the percussion circuit on a
  B3..
