Not sure if the attached is of interest to others. I've been trying to find an easy way to add velocity and pitch scaling to an envelope, fortunately the multistage envelope has appropriate streaming connections available to make this possible. I would be interested to know if this is possible with the standard ADSR modules as I kept hitting the need to convert from streaming to float maths.

The output amp stage was easy and obvious to change in the schematic.

The adjustment of timings is buried in the "Multi-Envelope" module where the timing can be shortened according to the "Pitch" of the key just like a piano and the times can be extended according to velocity e.g. increasing by how hard the key is hit. This latter function can be reversed by simply changing the "Vel Time" control to have a minimum value of -1 instead of zero.

This is part of my first synth so if there is a problem with it I might struggle to offer any guidance on a fix. It works for me though!

    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.
