This means if you have a slow attack and a brief gate, the envelope might not ever even get off the ground. In a conventional ADSR unit, if the gate falls before the attack & decay phases have completed, the unit enters the release phase. However, the AD mode is something not usually seen. All very familiar, and this is probably the most general and widely used envelope type. The release phase returns the output to 0v when the gate falls. In AR mode, there is an attack phase up to 5v which holds as long as the gate input is held high. It would be great if one little module could be the last word in filling this gap.įour Transients gives you four simple, independent envelopes that can each be either the AD or AR type. You try using square or triangle waves from LFOs and gates when you need more, but that doesn't really cut it. Face it, one thing you always come up short on is envelopes. But in this case, it's a great thing times four! The Cynthiaﾮ brand, Four Transients module may appear very simple on the surface, but it's simple appearance belies its versatility.
Usually, having a transient hanging around isn't a good thing - let alone four of them.
