Device Overview
| Name/Version: | Patchable Quad Slope Generator - Updated 1.1 |  |
| Author: | lorena | |
| Description: | This module consists of four Attack Decay envelopes with adjustable rise and fall times. When connected, they create interrelated and overlapping rhythms. A similar system is at the heart of the modular synthesizer designed by Serge Tcherepnin. They can each be cycled independently, functioning as 4 adjustable saw to triangle wave LFOs. When one is patched to the other, the first will trigger a "one shot" cycle from the second when its Attack reaches its peak. Two envelopes can be patched to trigger a third envelope, which can then be patched to trigger either of the first two. Each envelope output can be mapped to two parameters within Live. *******Version 1.1******* I forgot to pass the audio through the device! I've uploaded the corrected file, but you could also just add plugin~ and plugout~ to the one you already have downloaded. |

| I'm not sure if I have this device set up correctly. When I add the device after a VST or after an Audio Clip, the audio does not pass through. So the workaround is to set up a separate track just for this device and map the parameters from there. |

| sleepycycle -- total no brainer, I forgot to pass the audio through! Just uploaded the corrected version, but if you want to fix it in yours you just add a plugin~ and plugout~ object and connect the outputs of the first to the inputs of the second! |
| Very interesting device ! Do you think you could add an option to have the lengths in beats/sync instead of free time ? I think it could make some cool euclidean rhythms |

| Mecanigue22 -- interesting idea! I think right now the triggering from one envelope to the other is a little too "loose" (new cycle is triggered when line reaches .9 instead of .99 to avoid issues with vector size) for it to quantize properly, especially with fast envelopes. A long term goal is to re-work this device once I take a class on gen~, which would allow for exact triggering as well as the envelopes to get up to audio rate like the original Serge! |
| I'd be glad to help but unfortunately the only thing I know about gen~ is : "it's hard". Keep up the good work :-) |

| Hi lorena, I found this thing on the cycling forum, maybe it can help :-) https://cycling74.com/forums/sharing-early-serge-modular-envelope-generator-emulation |
