EMS VCS3 emu gets FS overhaul
Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2019 4:28 am
Just finished giving this very old SM build a good FS brush-up. Got the envelope a bit closer to how the hardware worked, but still not quite there. The 'Putney'/Synthi envelope was pretty weird by today's standards.
Here's how it's supposed to work - notice that the 'On' (Hold) segment doesn't begin till the Gate goes off.
So the graphic shows the env staying at full as long a key is held down, then upon release of the key, the Hold stage begins and lasts for the time set by the 'On' (Hold) panel control. Anyone know how to get an env to do this?
I included the oscillator and velocity functions of the DK keyboard (underneath the pin matrix).
