Gate to Amp. How do i do that?

[Halon]

A lot of synthesizers have the option to switch from Envelope to Gate for the Amplifier, so you might use the envelope for other tasks (modulation). How would you do that in Flowstone? I know i can connect the 'gate out' to the envelope, but how would i actually switch to Gate mode?

Cheers.

Anyone ?

I'm here, but I'm not sure I can help. Create another envelope from the signal post gate? I usually build audio processors and not synths...

[Halon]

Hello guyman. Not shure if that is how to do it but i'll give it a try.

Maybe multiply the signal by gate,
and use a selector(s) to switch between eg and gate modes
hope helps!

edit- you may need to turn the gate bool into a poly signal with a modified 'boolean readout'

WHy not just use a second envelope?

Thanks i will try that.

With a fast attack and release you mean? I know that a Gate is an envelope with a fast attack and release. More like an on-off if im not mistaken.

You can keep the amp envelope and use another envelope for other tasks, no?

And here comes the noobiest question in this thread: So far the envelopes I found are triggered by the signals from the polystream. How would I trigger an envelope with a simple on/off signal? I'm thinking in the lines of having gated amp envelopes, that are often used in trance, edm and such music. Mostly those are triggered with midi (to allow 16th or 32nd grids)

The MIDI to Voice and Voice to Poly prims open a channel when a note is pressed. While the channel is open (a note is sounding) you can switch on and off any signal you wish.

You must have a minimum of one envelope prim in the poly system. The prim tells the software when to close a poly channel.

When note-off happens the envelope prim has to be told to close the channel, otherwise each new channel opened will never be turned off and the CPU will rocket.

If that’s not clear I could maybe make a demo...
