[1.D] ENV 1 OUT - The VCA'd output of
Envelope 1. The actual envelope
feeds into an internal VCA, whose
level is controlled by ENV 1 LEVEL
IN [1.C] , and the output of the VCA is
sent to the ENV 1 OUT jack. Building
a VCA into Tangrams has two
benefits:
● It enables you to control the
output's overall amplitude by
patching CV into the LEVEL input,
and even lets you invert the
envelope by patching in negative
voltage. A common CV input
would be note velocity, since it
would allow the overall envelope
level to increase/decrease based
on the input velocity.
● It enables full audio VCA
functionality by patching audio into
the LEVEL input, possibly
eliminating the need to patch the
output into a dedicated VCA.
ENVELOPE 2
Envelope 2 is functionally identical, but completely separate from Envelope 2. As such, it has all the
same inputs, outputs and parameter controls as Envelope 1.
Because of this, all the panel elements described for Envelope 1 apply to Envelope 2. So to learn
about Envelope 2, simply read the Envelope 1 section, and replace any references to ENV 1
controls with the like-numbered ENV 2 controls.
