oh boy! so many fun... and so many questions!

(i am a synth beginner)

so it’s the third day i am playing with my sammichSID during some hours and my md.. I am RTFM intensively, with the sammich power on, making experiences…this thing is seriously deep…And fun… certainly one of the better buy i always do!!! why i have not directly build a 6582???

everway, as i need a keyboard, i’ll buy a novation which handle sysex and nrpn…

i am at the “bassline” chapter, and my prime time night was dedicated to it: great great fun!!!

i can’t belive all the things that are in this little box the sound is one thing- all the matrix mod seqs are realy another who push next the level oh god!..

In a first time, i have decided to not use the trigger, wavetable and modulation matrix, of the lead engine in order to quickly learn the basics…

So i have read the chapter lead, multi, bassline. and wanna stop here for the moment (in fact i certainly stop ON the bassline chapter lol! acid is fun to do with this seq ( note i never have a xox or tb seq…)!)

And i have many question, and i think i will come here often in the next weeks!

What is exactly the “infamous adsr bug??? is the fact that envellope doesnt restart if it overlap between two note??? i thinks it’s that, as when i sequence too longs notes on the md, certain seem"broken”

when using bassline seq, if i sequence a c, it will run the first pattern ok.

So on a 16 step pattern on the md, i put a c on the first step, and a 4/4beat.

But if i say to the md roll on now on the 2 first step by changing the pattern lenght, the bassline seq continue is run even if the c is retrigerred which could be a cool thing, but can too do some desync if in fact i don’t tell the md to re-go to 16 step perfectly in sync. So is there a way to force the sid seq to began at the beginnig of the pattern each time the c is trigerred???

thanks for doing such wonderful box to all your communitie! definitely love this thing!!! (the only problem is that i do a fm too, and due the many things to read, and not only read, understand, this last one will certainly be unused for a big time… but it do pretty goods sounds tto, “dreaming sound” lol)

many many thanks at all for all this joy!

Thanks for writing! :slight_smile:

The ADSR bug can sporadically happen whenever attack, decay and/or sustain of the VCA envelope is set to a value > 0.

If the ENV gate is retriggered (turned off/on) within ca. 20 mS, the envelope will stop immediately and especially won’t be restarted.

So, it matches with your observations.

Sometimes it helps to adjust ENV parameters (attack/decay/sustain) slightly so that the bug doesn’t occur.

Alternatively you could enable the ABW (ADSR Bug Workaround) option which fixes this issue by reseting the ENV before setting the gate, but it will delay the sound output by ca. 20 mS - this delay has to be compensated in a DAW after recording (so: it’s only a “studio option”)

Your retrigger-sequence request is currently not supported, but I just have added this to the TODO list.

Best Regards, Thorsten.
