Multi-Envelope | Sustain CV I 

In this context, the gate and trigger inputs are interchangeable. However, if the gate input received a constant high voltage (say from a keyboard) the sustain stage will hold for the entire duration.

@@VerbosElectronicsGmbH Thank you very much for answering. But still I'm a bit lost. I'll explain: I don't have a Multi-Envelope, but I do have a Beface VC-ADSR, and I can do more or less the same with it. So, have a modulation on the sustain stage and that works very nicely. So far so good. With the VC-ADSR however, I have to make sure that the input gate doesn't end too soon, because if the gate ends too quickly, the sustain stage is skipped and immediately the release stage is entered. This is because the ADR stages are time-controlled, but the Sustain stage is level-controlled. And now I'm looking at the video and I see the output LED of the Voltage Multistage flipping on and off, and still the Multi-Envelope fully enters the Sustain stage. Do I see some underlying design choices surface here? I mean, the fact that you have multiple different envelopes in one go, might imply that they all end at the same time and thus fiddling with the timing makes the sustain stage being entered? or maybe something else? Or am I completely missing something obvious? I can't help but keep thinking about this.

@@jandobbelsteen8953 You may want to ask with Befaco, different module makes each have different behaviour! But generally the sustain on an ADSR will always be gate dependent, having no discernible effect when receiving triggers/short gates. A trigger input will usually ignore the sustain stage, working just as an AD or ADR, but will depend on the module's design.

@@puscha but in this example the multi-envelope is entering a sustain stage and sustaining even though it is only receiving a trigger (as seen on the multistage LED) which is not normal envelope behavior... is there a predetermined sustain length on the M.E . when using the gate input? or does the slider/cv play a role in the length of the sustain stage (in addition to the volume) ?
