Hi guys!

are the ADSR segments linear? i guess yes... would be nice to have a 'curve factor' for the segments...

and there's still the classical ADSR noisette.. try to put few attack samples and dress your headphones and you'll hear it 🙂 ..maybe is because the adsr is not interpolated?

what's that HOLD inlet?..i can't understand...when you set it as 'false' you have always a click at the ending 🙂

yeah, the ADSR is linear. New more flexible envelope components are already planned.

The boolean Hold input on the ADSR instructs a certain ADSR to hold the sound process running after note-off until fully released. For example if you use two ADSRs, one inside a VCF and another inside the VCA, only the VCA ADSR should hold the process running until release time. That way, as soon as the VCA ADSR gets to zero, the sound process can be deleted saving CPU power. In general leave the Hold input unconnected unless it is your main VCA ADSR in which case you should connect a String to it set to "true".

thanks lalo, I'll try to recreate it and find the cause of it.

waldorf attack has a shaping function for its envelopes, going smoothly from concave thru to linear thru to convex, it would be great to be able to do this!

    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.
