10.1 ADSR Overview:
The ADSR modules are a pair of four stage ADSR envelope generators that smooth the shape
of the incoming gates and triggers to produce a more expressive instrument. The envelope
outputs can be used to control the amplitude of an oscillator, the cutoff frequency of a lter or
any other function on a module that accepts control voltages.
The envelopes in Taiga are based on the Lifeforms SV-1 ADSR and are designed to be snappy
and percussive. Small adjustments to the [ADSR Attack Knob] will reduce this effect and smooth
out the sharp attack.
For each envelope, an incoming gates or trigger signal passes through each of the four stages
to output an envelope. When the ADSR modules receives a gate or trigger signal, the attack
determines the amount of time needed for the envelope generator to reach the peak output
voltage and move on to the decay stage. Decay sets the amount of time needed to transition
to the level set by the sustain knob. The sustain level is maintained as long as the incoming gate
remains on or high. Once the incoming gate goes low or off, the release knob sets the time
needed to close the envelope and return the Envelope output to 0 volts.
ADSR outputs 0-10 volts.
