3.  Controls and indicators

As soon as a 

gate signal

 is sensed at the VCADSR

gate input 

5

, the VCADSR puts out a varying voltage,

changing in time, known as an 

envelope

.  See Fig. 1.

Fig. 1

:  ADSR envelope and its parameters

The parameters A, D, S and R can be adjusted by
hand with controls 

1

 to 

4

, or can be controlled by the

voltages patched into CV inputs

 !

 to 

$

. These control

voltages and the voltages set by hand are summed.

A

This controls the 

Attack time 

of the envelope.

Whenever the VCADSR is triggered - by a key being
pressed on your controller keyboard, or by an external
gate being sensed at the gate input 

5

 -  the control

voltage at output 

7

 rises to the maximum, in a time

determined by the setting of this knob, and any voltage
patched into its Attack CV input.

D

This controls the 

Decay

 

time

 of the envelope.  After

the attack phase is finished, the voltage falls to the
level set by the sustain knob and CV, in a time
determined by the setting of this knob, and its CV
input.

S

This controls the 

Sustain level

 of the envelope. After

the decay phase, the voltage stays at this level until
the gate is released.

R

This controls the 

Release time

. As soon as the gate

signal finishes, for instance when the key on the
controller keyboard is released (Note Off in MIDI), the
voltage at the output falls to its minimum, in a time
determined by this knob and the Release CV.
