What I really want are some high level abstractions with at most two additional variables that will let me specify a dynamic expressive articulation that encompasses laglato and legato with portamento or portomento emblishment. _________________ The question is not whether they can talk or reason, but whether they can suffer. -- Jeremy Bentham |

And yes, the VCA's on the Aries are variable between Linear and Exponential -- a very useful feature. _________________ -- Kevin

Ah yes, the Aries. That's where I remember the linear/exponential response from. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

my 2 cents.
i really like the way on fruity loops you can not only adjust the ADSR as you'd expect in any sequencer, you can switch to adjust the curves of each very finely and get a lot of very nice control over the exact curve and shape of the envelope as you see in the diagrams above. probably from version 5 onwards. but then, it is fruityloops.
i agree that some of the Nord envelopes are quite ugly (which can have it's uses). but i do love the multi-stage envelopes, and the modulated envelopes can produce some beautifully musical effects with lead sounds or if used in a subtle manner can produce some quite humanistic effects in percussive lines.
a combination of the 2 approaches would be idea imho. _________________ there's no I in TEAM, so let's all act as individuals instead |

What aspects of the EG can be modulated and which do you find most useful? Have you found it useful to modulate the "shape/curve" of each segment of the envelope? _________________ The question is not whether they can talk or reason, but whether they can suffer. -- Jeremy Bentham |
