I might have to mod your EG, my wife really like to have both pos and neg outputs from an envelope generator (for making stereo effects, etc). Since that means I would be removing the switch then there’s plenty of room for another jack
EDIT: Now she tells me that she rarely uses that feature and that the negative outputs on my O6Beptka envelopes is enough
Did you or @MacMannes ever resolve this? I breadboarded the Schmitz “Fastest Envelope in the West” today and it similarly doesn’t return to 0 V, I tried adding the diode and 100k resistor and that made it get back to 0 V or at least a lot closer. Downside is it reduces the amplitude of the envelope a little including the sustain level, but maybe that’s acceptable.
Did you say that? I thought I said that. And like you I found it looked good in the final build; I didn’t associate it with the cap at the time, but I may very well have used a ceramic on the breadboard.
The other day I was breadboarding an ADSR and found it worked significantly better with a film cap than an electrolytic. Of course if you want long envelopes you need multi µF caps, and putting ten film caps in parallel on a PCB does use up a lot of room.
Yeah well at first i tried a tantlum cap for 1uF and that didn’t work at all for long, and then I put a NP elec in and that worked but it was a bit roundy at the extremes.
