Points
Points is a multi-segment envelope generator with four sets of controls to specify time, level, and curvature for each segment. It includes options for sustain or looping on gate high, and analog and digital retrigger options.
Input
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
| unit input | feed a gate signal into the left side of the unit |
Controls
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| time x | time to reach point x |
| level x | level of point x |
| curve x | curvature of the segment approaching point x |
Options
Held Gate
sustain will sustain at level 3 when it is reached if the gate is still high loop will jump immediately back to point 1 when point 3 is reached, and loop from point 1 to 3 as long the gate is high
Retrigger
When the envelope is retriggered before it has completed it’s full cycle: analog will begin the first phase from the level of the envelope at the moment is retriggered digital will force the envelope to level 4 before beginning the first phase
