Prevent envelopes from retriggering unless all keys are let go?

Post by pedrocot »

Hello,

I've played some monophonic softsynths which don't retrigger envelopes when played in a "legato" manner. For instance -- if I play a C, and then play D while still holding C, the pitch will change from C to D -- but the amp and filter envelopes won't retrigger until I let go of all keys and then play another key.

Is it possible to recreate this behavior in VM?

Thanks.

Switch the SINGLE / MULTI Switch in the CV Sources panel to "SINGLE". The default is MULTI, which will retrigger.

https://docs.cherryaudio.com/voltage-mo ... e/io-panel
"Single/Multi- Defines how the Gate and Trigger voltages behave when a key is struck while another key is held. In Single mode, a new gate and trigger voltage will not be sent until all previously held keys are released. In Multi mode, new gate and trigger voltages are sent any time a new key is played. (Because the gate voltage is already "high," it will very briefly dip to zero volts when a new key is struck in order to let the module know to retrigger.)"
