Fig. 3: Controlling release time

The same basic system can be used, eg, to shorten
the attack phase the higher the velocity sensed
;
playing hard produces a short attack, and playing
more gently a slower attack to the note. Simply patch
the relevant velocity output of a MIDI-CV interface,
(for instance output CV2 on an A-190) to the A-175
Voltage Inverter's input, and the A-175’s output to the
CV input ! (CV A) of the VCADSR.

Random/cyclical parameter changes

You can get some interesting results by modulating
ADSR parameters either at random, with the random

output from an A-118 module, or cyclically, by using
an LFO such as the A-145, A-146 or A-147.

This is where creativity and love of experimentation
get to be really important - but one suggestion at least
is that the Decay parameter is a good one to start with.

In the patch in Fig. 4, each new note has a different
(random) decay.
