Note played won't stop
Re: Note played won't stop
If you really want to nit pick something, I nominate "GATE" along with "open" and "close"

Hell, I might throw that together myself and make it available for free in the VM store. That's if it hasn't already been done by another dev, of course.

Just so you know, I watched the video again and the video shows how the knob works. Also, when the patch is shown with the VCA, the pass-through gain (or CV if you want to call it that) is potted down.utdgrant wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 12:56 pmThe DMT 'Simple Amplifier' . . . is now available FoC in the store.utdgrant wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 11:50 am Either that, or create a new 'VCA 101' which just has a uniploar CV attenuator (0-100% +ve only), and which defaults to 100% when you drag it into the rack.

Simple problem and simple solution. No need to rename the knob or to buy another knob.
Re: Note played won't stop
agreed... I apparently didn't watch the video closely enough the 1st time and used the knob incorrectly. It does work just as described in the video.Steve W wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 2:02 pm Just so you know, I watched the video again and the video shows how the knob works.

Apologies if I took this down an unnecessary rabbit hole
Re: Note played won't stop
Don't worry about it at all. The Amplifier module seems to confuse a lot of people. Your post was just the latest one about it.
Given that the very first patch many people will build is an oscillator going through a VCA controlled by an envelope generator the stock VCA should be a little less idiosyncratic than it is.
Grant's done a good job with his free alternative. And as a bonus it works as a proper ring modulator unlike CA's very peculiar attempt at one.
Re: Note played won't stop
I agree: not an issue that you missed it in the video and asked. I disagree that the pass-through gain/CV knob is confusing. Not your fault at all that others decided to opine. I remembered one other time when someone else had the same issue. When learning something new, I also find that I don't grab all the details on the first pass. On YouTube tutorials I often press pause and many times rewind and replay, too.

Re: Note played won't stop
The VCA on my SH5 uses the term HOLD instead of GAIN, and it makes sense. Turn it up for a held tone, turn it down to prevent that.ColinP wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 3:36 pmDon't worry about it at all. The Amplifier module seems to confuse a lot of people. Your post was just the latest one about it.

Re: Note played won't stop
Yeah--it really depends on what individuals are familiar with. For me "Hold" doesn't connote a sense of variable level/amount. That's probably because I have seen "Hold" and "Latch" used as a two-state concept: on/off. I like "Pass-Thru Amt." but I have never seen anyone use that. I suppose "Fixed Control Voltage" could be called "Hold Level."huggermugger wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 12:23 am The VCA on my SH5 uses the term HOLD instead of GAIN, and it makes sense.

I still think the term "Gate" with "open" and "close" is much more worthy of scrutiny.
