Hello there,
If you (like me) always wondered how fast the envelopes of the A4 really can be, here’s a fraction of an answer. I played around with envelope types 8-11 – the ones with immediate attack and gate functionality – to find out how long the gate stays open in seconds.
| Attack | Duration (sec) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0,000 |
| 1 | 0,004 |
| 2 | 0,007 |
| 3 | 0,010 |
| 4 | 0,014 |
| 5 | 0,018 |
| 6 | 0,022 |
| 7 | 0,026 |
| 8 | 0,030 |
| 9 | 0,035 |
| 10 | 0,040 |
| 11 | 0,045 |
| 12 | 0,050 |
| 13 | 0,056 |
| 14 | 0,062 |
| 15 | 0,068 |
| 16 | 0,075 |
| 17 | 0,082 |
| 18 | 0,089 |
| 19 | 0,096 |
| 20 | 0,104 |
| 21 | 0,112 |
| 22 | 0,121 |
| 23 | 0,130 |
| 24 | 0,140 |
| 25 | 0,150 |
| 26 | 0,161 |
| 27 | 0,172 |
| 28 | 0,184 |
| 29 | 0,196 |
| 30 | 0,208 |
| 31 | 0,222 |
I was lazy and stopped after the first 32 values, because I was interested only in these specifically. But maybe these rough numbers are of value for someone else, too.
