Hi there,
After having read this section of the manual several times as well as experimenting with simple samples and sequences, I can’t make sense of what these settings are actualy changing:
So far, i’ve understood that much :
AMP: Behavior for successive overstepping envelopes
For manually played samples // Tracks, Chroma, Slots and Slices Trig Modes
ANLG: Each envelope starts at the same level the previous envelope was interupted > Likely to ignore the start of the following envelope
RTRG: Each envelope starts from level zero, abruptly cutting the previous envelope
For sequenced samples // Incl. Trigless Trigs
TTRG: Each envelope starts at the same level the previous envelope was interupted > Likely to ignore the start of the following envelope
R+T: Each envelope starts from level zero, abruptly cutting the previous envelope
According to this description, ANLG and TTRG should sound more gracious to the ear since there is no abrupt level gap between one envelope and the next.
However in my experiments, I’ve noticed that these values don’t sound as good compared to RTRG/R+T and are more prone to clicks. So that doesn’t make sense to me.
Can someone please explain this to me ?
Regards,
David

Use a single cycle waveform, looped. And make an amp envelope to mimic a typtical synth patch. Make the amp envelope obvious ( so no long attack decay)
You’ll hear the difference in envelope behaviour very easily. Even more so if you use a filter, and mess around with FX enevelope settings.
Pretty much, analog triggers the envelope at the same level the last one was at, re trig, does exactly that, retriggers the envelope, regardless of where the last one was. And so on according to the manual.
Its a pretty subtle setting. I pretty much never use it, as I dont use my octrack for pretending its a synth. But its there to play with, if you feel like it. If it makes no sense to you, forget about it. Like pick up machines

Thanks for your answer @Microtribe
How does that work in terms of timing ? Will the following envelope last as long as the first one ? I mean, will it’s duration be truncated or the envelope will be as long as the first one but the level will not strictly follow the AMP settings as it will start from current level ?
