thanks for u'r reply phono

but i dont want to do it like u said ..its not practical at all.
if there will be long notes and i turn the env mod up to 75% i will get some fatness from the x0x and that what i'm lookong for.

so if any one here knows how to make the gate long notet i'll b happy to know..please :mrgreen:

thanks again phono my man :)

this works very well

x0xd0x wrote:"Gate On Forever

Tie a line from the juncture of D35 and R133 to a single pole switch, and the other end to 12V. When the switch is on, the gate will be on forever, but the sound will still die when the main envelope closes the VCA. A good place to get 12V is pin 3 of J4 (pin 1 is 5.333v, pin 2 GND and pin 3 12v)"


and it works even better when you tie it to this:

I generally put them on the same switch

How is the "VCA Envelope On Forever"-mod supposed to work? I did the mod, but the envelope is only on forever if I run the sequence and then changes to Keyboard mode, otherwise nothing happens. I want the envelope to be on forever regardless of anything else. I don't have to have the "Gate On Forever"-mod also, right?

@mome

Presumably if you're putting both wires thru the same switch that's a DPST switch??

Or, do you "double up" on the connection to the 12v??

Yeah, that would do it...
Can you post up a sample? (I couldn't find one when I searched thru the forum) I'd be quite interested in hearing how this sounds...

Yeah, just to be clear if anybody else wonders, the "VCA Envelope On Forever"-mod DOES NOT work properly on it's own, it MUST be combined with the "Gate On Forever"-mod to work. However the "Gate On Forever"-mod does work on it's own.

its not exactly correct the vca env on forever is working gr8 :)
if u play a pattern and hold the slide button in normal mod it will fade out but in the vca env on forever it will keep on going and going ..
and in keyboard mode if its on normal mod if u press the note and keep on pressing it will fade out but in the vca env on forever it wil play forever.
i think that this is the way it should be..if i'm wrog,please correct me.

now, if u take the gate on forever and the vca on forever and combine them this is what u'll get :

the first 16 bars is without the mods the second 16 bars is with the gate on forever and vca on for ever.
i hope it helps.

Funny you should say that. I currently have a VCA decay mod which does very little, but I think I'll add in the Gate on and see how they interect before adding in the VCA on forever.

I'll let you know how I get on.
