Multi Stage Envelope - Help Needed

I'm working on a design that is an effect (not a synth) that needs complex envelopes. Samplitude treats anything that has ins and outs as strictly an effect and doesn't appear to chain MIDI to effects that have MIDI inputs - so the MIDI option is out.

Almost all the design examples I've seen for Multi Stage Envelopes use MIDI To Poly to supply the gate.

Is it possible to use something like a switch or transport to create a gate for MSE? I have tried both and have had no luck. Are there some secrets about MSEs that I should know? Any advice appreciated.

Hi TuwaSni, welcome to SM! We'll need the OSM to check for sure, but my instinct says that you are using float instead of a true "on". Search for something like "boolout mask" or similar.

Here's a transport activated (non-functioning) version. I've noticed that the outputs of the MSEs seem to reflect the Sustain level all of the time, if that helps debug it. I've also noticed that the Playing module doesn't seem to work reliably (had an LED hooked up to it) - using Samplitude V11's transport/record controls.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
