Prophet Rev2 owners - could someone explain the amp envelope to me?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p><strong>EDIT: this is solved, my controller was causing the issue, not the excellent Rev2</strong></p> <p>If you have time to help me understand this I'd really appreciate it! I'm pretty new to synths so I may just be missing something.</p> <p>I'm not understanding how the amp envelope is behaving and I'll give you an example:</p> <ol> <li><p>I start a new, basic program</p></li> <li><p>Open filter all the way</p></li> <li><p>On amp envelope I set attack, decay and release to zero and sustain to max.</p></li> </ol> <p>On any other synth I've used the resulting behavior would be, if I hold a key on the keyboard at this point, the sound attacks instantly to full volume then sustains at full volume and then instantly ends when release the key.</p> <p>On my Rev2 at this point, when I press a key I get a split second tone then, almost instantly down to zero volume. So, when holding a key, where I would expect infinite sound, I just get basically a click.</p> <p>Is this how DSI intends this filter to work?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/gizzardgullet"> /u/gizzardgullet </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/7q4axa/prophet_rev2_owners_could_someone_explain_the_amp/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/7q4axa/prophet_rev2_owners_could_someone_explain_the_amp/">[comments]</a></span>
