Ello, just wondering if this exists yet, obviously I can search the library but some of the multi block downloads may contain this. Can't imagine it would be too hard to make myself but if someone has done it already...

Cheers.

what does F stand for? I've never heard that.

I think it stands for "Fade", an optional fade time from the sustain value down to minimum or up to maximum. Rob Papen Blue II is one synth that offers AHDSFR envelopes, and there it's F for "Fade".

You can make more complex envelopes with the basic bento box envelopes by linking them through the gate outputs. Typically, the hold time between attack and decay is done by overdriving the envelope so that part of the voltage is clipped to a flat value.

It's Fade/fall/ Fall/Rise, it allows you to make the sustain rise or fall before reaching release, instead of being a flat line. Most U-He synths have it in software, Massive can do it also iirc. It's just a little bit more control.

There are all sorts of crazy envelopes about in hardware, old emu samplers for instance..

Thanks, that sounds fairly obvious now you say it, but I doubt I would have worked that out for myself :hihi: , cheers, I'll have a fiddle.

Yes, it's a bit of fiddling as is the modular synth way sometimes. Sometimes might be a small understatement. Scopes make things easier.

Personally, I am a fan of fancy digital envelopes myself and would probably grab whatever decent looking thing popped up in the lib.

At the same time, getting along with a more typically modular method is fine and can lead to lots of cool things you might not do entirely intentionally. Plus, many points are voltage controllable and can be mixed with other cvs and so on. After a while you might even start to think you don't really need as many different modules as you thought you did.

Hope it works for you. If you find a good envelope please link. The library is already getting to be a crowded browse for me.
