Just as a refresher. I'm playing analog bass guitar, usually through octaves, dirt, then filters. I'm trying Volcano 2 which I'm really enjoying (I like Timeless as well). However, I'm having trouble getting Normal Input Envelope Generator to retrigger the envelope easily.
It retriggers perfectly if I play extremely stacatto with solid, clear breakes between each note. I can play through the envelope during quick runs of notes. However, unlike most of the hardware based envelope tracking gear I've used I'm having trouble getting the envelope to retrigger during phrases where the notes don't completely decay, but still (to my ears) decay enough where it's obvious there's a new note playing and should retrigger.
I've tried the threshold, and while it imparts some amount of control, it just never seems to get sensitive enough.
Another thought was to try to generate MIDI NOTE triggers further upstream while the signal is still clean (before processed with dirt). That's something I'd do with my MAM Warp9 which had a separate audio trigger input, you feed it clean signal for the physical triggering, but the wet/dirt signal through the actual filter for processing.
I just need to find some tool to allow me to analyze the signal and trigger MIDI NOTE based on threshold.
I'm sure I'm in the minority in what I'm trying to do. Most people would be using synths and already triggering MIDI NOTE with every key press for a more reliable triggering method.
Me again. :)
