here we go step by step through the basic construction of an ADSR envelope, looking at some functions of line, line~ and vline~ along the way.

Nicely done!

Hello, I cannot dl the first attachment, does it work for others?

Are you using Chrome by chance? I had the same issue. Try a different browser. For some reason some files just don't want to be downloaded by Chrome from this forum.

Yup, I was on Chrome. Got it now, Thanks!

And I thought I was a beginner before I read this...
This is really great. I'm struggling through pages 5, 6, and 7, that's for sure. I'm looking forward to spending several hours with this tutorial. Thank you!

Great tutorial. I was using [line] instead of [line~] to ramp volume changes and was getting some clicks. Thanks for showing how to do it right.

Hi,

thxalot for the help!
i had allways trouble with notes beeing accidently retriggered.
the "double" [min] object seem to solve that. very good!

flo.

The downloads worked for me in Chrome !

Hi,

nice job on the tutorial. One thing you could add concerns the [line] object. The third creation argument (or inlet) defines the rate in ms for every output. Its default is 20ms per output but you can go down to samplerate if you wish so.

I realized that only after building a faster rate ramp from the [line~] object in conjunction with a snapshot a while ago.

I needed to adjust that value on some occasions, to get a smooth ramp without noticable aliasing.

Have a good day (or night),

Hola,

thank you so much for your tutorial! all i needed to know is on page 3 on the right hand: sending a message with the following content [1 2 3, 4 5 6, 7 8 9] to vline~ means:

1 2 3 = wait 3ms, then ramp to 1 in 2ms
4 5 6 = wait 6ms, then ramp to 4 in 5ms
7 8 9 = wait 9ms, then ramp to 7 in 8ms

Thanks! nice tutorial!

Although i see that this post is from 3 years ago -
Thanks a lot for doing all this!

One problem -
your object [diy-adsr~] doesn't work for me...
Should I do anything particular like install a library or something?

Thanxx

@Maelstorm open the link in icognito. It works.

@ReLLiK That browser problem is 10 years ago now......

@ReLLiK Ah!.... thank you for the info.
