Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the extended release time allows for very slow fades, but it’s not designed for extremely long durations.
It's a basic attenuator, providing a straightforward way to scale the incoming CV signal, but lacks finer control like exponential response.
It's a fairly standard retrigger—it resets the envelope cycle when a new gate signal arrives, which is common for this type of module.
