I'm experiencing a couple of oddities with envelopes - perhaps someone could help/tell me I'm not using them correctly.

I'm using 1.25 15 March beta, using a single envelope to modulate a single VST plug-in (doesn't seem to matter which one I use, but I'm using OhMyGod! for now...)

1. I'm trying to create a ADSR envelope - I have four points 0,127,63,0 and set the left and right loop points to the middle two points. Triggering the envelope in sync mode loops fine between the two middle points, but the release portion never seems to trigger, so the output of the envelope is left at 63 - is this correct behaviour, and is there any way round it?

2. When the last point on an envelope is at the same position in time as the penultimate, it never gets sent. I have a (almost) square envelope:

beat 0: 0 rises to 127
beat 1: 126 drops to 0

The last 0 never gets sent, leaving the output at 126. I can insert an extra point as a workround, but this interferes with envelopes triggered afterward, so I'm trying to avoid this.

Any help anyone can give would be appreciated - this really is an excellent piece of software!

It doesn't loop the way you expect it too. All it does is go from L to R. The remainder of the envelope is ignored.

What you should do is draw the envelope with two cycles, then set the L/R points to cover the area you want.

Missing value problem is confirmed here!

unlinked,

1) the envelope doesn't 'release' on note off. I should add a mode for it or something. I'll see what I can do.

2) doh! fix coming up!

thanks

If you add a release state, make sure the user can toggle it as well as set the release state value - preferably linkable to CC#s.

Piranha & Jorgen,

Thanks for your responses guys. Glad to see I'm not imagining things!

Steve.
