I’m working in Alg1 and would like to make a harpsichord style release, where you can here a short squeaky pop when you release your fingers from the keys. I can use the EV delay to always make the pop about a half a second after the note press, which sounds okay. But it’d be great if I can make the pop happen exactly as I release the keys. Any tips?
Have you messed around with the release on the filter?
IMO this would require an envelope triggered by the “note-off” MIDI command. I checked the manual, but I didn’t find this for envelopes or something like this on the LFO pages.
It’s possible I could figure out some way to do this with the filter since the filter EG can be turned negative, which is essentially what I need. Ideally I only need a negative release though, so not sure if it will work but I’ll play around with it! Thanks
How it works on the DX7 is that the level can be set for the release stage. So I basically make a loud release, but for a very short time period. Setting a loud release with infinite time is basically how you can get sounds to play (literally) forever on the DX after touching a note once.
On the DN the ending level for the operator EG’s release is always 0 (I think). If I could invert the polarity of one operator EG I could do the harpsichord-style release pretty easily.
fwiw beyond this one point I am loving how the FM sound design works on the DN.
