Triple Envelope Generator (TEG-1)

Description

Based on the ADSR envelope from the Japanese 100m system that is well-known for it’s percussivity and enormous punch – AQA Electronixx gives us three of them in one single Eurorack module, the Triple Envelope Generator.

The Triple Envelope Generator contains 3 very fast independent ADSR-Envelopes.
There are 2 different time ranges switchable. Every Envelope got an inverted output.
The Gate-Inputs 2 and 3 are normalized to Gate 1.

Sometimes an envelope generator doesn’t have to be function-ladden but just reliable, solid and good – and this is what AQA have absolutely achieved with their Triple Envelope Generator module. The technical quality comprises precision components – as used in measuring instruments – that are used to keep the parameters exact.

Three identical, very classic Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release envelopes are integrated; function-wise rather simple with a gate input and one positive and one inverted envelope output each. The gate inputs are normalized (1 -> 2 -and 1 -> 3; with input 1 as master) which minimizes the amount of patch cords. Normalizations can be disrupted by patching a cable.
Each envelope generator has a time range switch with two position to select between short and long envelope times.

Features

• Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release controls for each envelope generator
• Each of the 3 envelope generators can be triggered independently or normalized to Gate 1
• Each envelope generator has an time-switch for choosing between short and long times
• Each envelope generator has an normal output
• Each envelope generator has an inverted output
