using the lookup() function, or by driving the table with an input<br>
UGen, typically a Phasor.&quot;<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>That&#39;s what I thought I remembered, yes. So; barring bugs let&#39;s assume that for now. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

I tried to drive the Gen5 ugen with an envelope, but that didn&#39;t seem<br>
to work (or do anything at all).</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Yes, that&#39;s right. This is because Envelope internally multiplies its shape with it&#39;s input. To get the behaviour you expect you&#39;d write;</div>
<div><br></div><div>Step unity =&gt; Envelope e;</div><div>1 =&gt; unity.next;</div><div><br></div><div>This is a pattern I use fairly often. &quot;unity&quot; stands for &quot;unity gain&quot;. Once you have a Step of that name you can re-use it elsewhere in your code. I find that quite handy.</div>
<div>It&#39;s been discussed that perhaps this should be the default behaviour for Envelopes (including ADSR) that don&#39;t get a input, I&#39;d be in favour of that and I seem to remember Perry also felt that way.</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> I tried a few other variations on<br>
this idea with no result. Maybe this is not what you meant, and what I<br>
am doing is completely silly.<br>
</blockquote></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>No, it&#39;s close. What you are doing is wave-shaping the enveloped signal and instead you we&#39;d like to wave-shape the envelope, then apply it to the signal. In this case we need a additional vca (Voltage Controlled Amplifier)<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>So;</div><div><br></div><div>Step unity =&gt; Envelope e =&gt; Gen5 curve =&gt; Gain vca; //waveshaped envelope as a control voltage</div><div>Noise my_signal =&gt; vca =&gt; dac; //signal to be enveloped</div>
<div>1 =&gt; unity.next; //unity gain to make the envelope behave</div><div>3 =&gt; vca.op; //set the vca to multiply</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>//set up your Gen5 here, your envelope, write music, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Aside from the trick with the Step it&#39;s all quite standard and straightforward stuff that you&#39;d see in any kind of modular synth, but I can understand that this is a bit tricky if see it for the first time. It should be easier with a updated Envelope and ADSR, I think.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I hope that helps and I hope there aren&#39;t too many bugs in it; I didn&#39;t try to run any of this ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Yours,</div><div>Kas.</div>
