ADSR envelope generator</A>

Example D01.envelope.gen.pd (Figure <A HREF="#fig04.12">4.12</A>) shows how the <TT>line~</TT> object may
|
||
|
|
be used to generate an ADSR envelope to control a synthesis patch (only the
|
||
|
|
ADSR envelope is shown in the figure). The ``attack" button, when pressed, has
|
||
|
|
two effects. The first (leftmost in the figure) is to set the <TT>line~</TT> object on its attack segment, with a target of 10 (the peak amplitude) over 200
|
||
|
|
msec (the attack time). Second, the attack button sets a <TT>delay 200</TT> object, so that after the attack segment is done, the decay segment can start.
|
||
|
|
The decay segment falls to a target of 1 (the sustain level) after another 2500
|
||
|
|
msec (the decay time).

The ``release" button sends the same <TT>line~</TT> object back to zero over
|
||
|
|
500 more milliseconds (the release time). Also, in case the
|
||
|
|
<TT>delay 200</TT> object happens to be set at the moment the ``release" button is pressed, a
|
||
|
|
``stop" message is sent to it. This prevents the ADSR generator from
|
||
|
|
launching its decay segment after launching its release segment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
In Example D02.adsr.pd (Figure <A HREF="#fig04.13">4.13</A>)
|
||
|
|
we encapsulate the ADSR generator in a Pd abstraction
|
||
|
|
(named <TT>adsr</TT>) so that it can easily be replicated. The design of the
|
||
|
|
<TT>adsr</TT> abstraction makes it possible to control the five ADSR parameters
|
||
|
|
either by supplying creation arguments or by connecting control streams to its
|
||
|
|
inlets.

In this example the five creation arguments (1, 100, 200, 50, and 300) specify
|
||
|
|
the peak level, attack time, decay time, sustain level (as a percentage of peak
|
||
|
|
level), and release time. There are six control inlets: the first to trigger
|
||
|
|
the ADSR generator, and the others to update the values of the five parameters.
|
||
|
|
The output of the abstraction is an audio signal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
This abstraction is realized as shown in Figure <A HREF="#fig04.14">4.14</A>. (You can open
|
||
|
|
this subpatch by clicking on the <TT>adsr</TT> object in the patch.) The only
|
||
|
|
signal objects are <TT>line~</TT> and <TT>outlet~</TT>. The three <TT>pack</TT> objects correspond to the three message objects from the earlier Figure
|
||
|
|
<A HREF="#fig04.12">4.12</A>. From left to right, they take care of the attack, decay,
|
||
|
|
and release segments.

<P>

The attack segment goes to a target specified as ``$1" (the first
|
||
|
|
creation argument of the abstraction) over ``$2" milliseconds; these
|
||
|
|
values may be overwritten by sending numbers to the ``peak level" and ``attack"
|
||
|
|
inlets. The release segment is similar, but simpler, since the target is
|
||
|
|
always zero. The hard part is the decay segment, which again must be set
|
||
|
|
off after a delay equal to the attack time (the <TT>del $2</TT> object).
|
||
|
|
The sustain level is calculated from the peak level and the sustain percentage
|
||
|
|
(multiplying the two and dividing by 100).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
The trigger inlet, if sent a number other than zero, triggers an
|
||
|
|
onset (the attack
|
||
|
|
and decay segments), and if sent zero, triggers the release segment.
|
||
|
|
Furthermore, the ADSR generator may be reset to zero by sending a negative
|
||
|
|
trigger (which also generates an onset).
