Key Features
The Expert Sleepers Amelia Envelope Generator features a unique ADBR (attack, decay, break, release) configuration designed with sequencing in mind. Using 'Break' mode, the envelope is triggered by a pulse on the 'Gate' input, with the 'Break' rotary control determining the envelope's fall rate (set by the Release knob and CV).
Product Ref: 254462
Expanding on the design of conventional envelope/function generators; Amelia provides four dedicated rotary knobs for attack, decay, break and release parameters. Standard function generators operate using ADSR (attack, delay, sustain and release); this unique configuration allows for advanced modulation methods, especially when combined with sequencing. Three modes are on offer to utilise, including Break, Gated and Auto modes.
The most unique of these three modes is 'Break', which controls the rate at which the envelope falls (set by the release knob and CV) until it reaches 0V. In this mode, the envelope is triggered by a pulse on the Gate input, with the envelope rise rate set by the attack (and CV) knobs until it reaches the maximum voltage (8V). The Decay knob then dictates the fall rate until it reaches the break level which is when the 'Break' control comes into play. Setting the 'Break' level to the maximum will bypass the Decay stage, following straight on to 'Release' and vice versa when the 'Break' level is set to minimum.
'Gated' mode dictates the transition from Decay to Release when the input trigger signal dips from high to low. This bypasses the 'Break' control and allows you to emulate a sustain stage when setting the Decay time to high levels. When Amelia is left in 'Auto' mode, the module will begin to behave like a free-running LFO and re-triggering when it reaches 0V at the end of the release stage.
Amelia is designed with fully analog circuitry with discrete logic and components, ensuring you retain the natural character and rich tonality that analog parts offer. Eliminating any digital-to-analog conversion, you get a pure and raw signal resulting in zero-quantization of the voltage levels or response time. Two smaller knobs allow you to set the shape of the attack and delay/release portions of the envelope, with a centre detent for linear shapes. There are also two switches for 'Mode' and 'Time' allowing you to toggle between different modes of operations and set the time range.
