ATSR
UI Overview
GATE behaves as you would expect on a traditional ADSR, with a rising edge (or button press) triggering an attack (A) slope towards the attack level. If the attack level is reached, the module traverses a slope (T) towards the sustain level (S). At any point during this process, a falling edge (or button release) initiates a release slope (R) back to rest at ground. The envelope appears at the OUT output.
A rising edge at RETRIG while the envelope is in the T or S stage creates a new AT envelope.
You can use the A level and S scale controls to set the attack and sustain points from -5V counterclockwise to 5V clockwise. The A LVL input overrides the manual level control, and S LVL is attenuverted by S scale.
A TIME, T TIME, and R TIME give you manual control over the stage times. The range of control is quite wide, with snappier times (min 6ms) on the counter clockwise side of the knob and more leisurely times (max 9s) on the clockwise side. Each time knob is connected to a touch sensor for selecting the slope shape.
T CV and R CV provide voltage control over the respective slope times; raising the voltage at the input lengthens the slope. Each CV has an a dedicated attenuator knob.
A CV controls either the attack time or the time of all slopes depending on the setting of the ATK/ALL sensor. The triangle LED is tinted green when ALL is selected.
When LVL S+H is activated, the A LVL input is sampled at the start of the A stage (and released after the T stage has finished). S LVL is sampled at the start of T stage and released after the release stage is complete. When the sample and holds are active, the LEDs adjacent to the level inputs are dark; otherwise, those LEDs show the level of each input at the output.
SEG is high during one of the 4 envelope segments as selected by the corresponding touch sensor. LOOP can be patched into GATE to make a looping ATR envelope. DELAY provides a gate delay; it is high during sustain. By patching it into RETRIG, you can create a looping AT envelope instead of a sustain stage.
