Interfacing envelope generator

Hello guys,
Once again im asking your help, hehe

— How to connect this cool Mr.Rene Schmidt’s envelope generator Fastest Envelope in the West to my ldr synth?

— Where is “gate in” in the ldr synth schematic? Is it located after momentary switch?

I already make ldr synthesizer based on lm358 filter (schematic by Pete Mc Bennett), it sounds cool, but i want it has adsr function.

My progress :

Im still confuse, but ill never give up

Thankk you so much for your help guys.

The McBennet circuit doesn’t generate a gate signal, all the push buttons do is to change which resistance is used in the oscillator. I can’t think of a simple way to modify it to get a gate signal out.

(You could replace the push buttons with DPST ones, and use the second pole to make a gate by some means such as connecting ground when pushed, and using a pullup resistor to connect +12 V (or +9 V or whatever you’re using) when no buttons are pushed, and then an NPN transistor to invert and buffer that. Not all that simple, having to retrofit different buttons, but maybe not all that hard.)

Alright, sounds complicated indeed
Hehe
I think i’ll pass adsr stuff
Thank you sir :pray::pray:
