### <a name="envelopes"></a> Envelopes and Envelope Utilities
#### DADSRH
-DADSRH (Delay Attack Decay Sustain Release Hold) augments a standard ADSR with a delay stage and a self-gating (hold) mode.
+DADSRH (Delay, Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release, Hold) is an envelope generator, augmenting a standard ADSR design with a delay stage and a self-gating (hold) mode.
Features:
- When the MODE switch is set to GATE, DADSRH is a more-or-less standard ADSR envelope generator, with an additional pre-attack delay stage. The envelope is controlled by a gate CV at the trigger port, or by holding the TRIGGER button.
- When MODE is TRIG, a trigger CV or press of the TRIGGER button will start a normal DADSR cycle, but controlled by an internal gate CV. The internal gate persists for the time set by the HOLD knob.
- - The envelope is output as a 0-10 signal at port ENV. Its inverse (actually, 10 - ENV) is output at INV. When a release stage completes, a trigger is output at END.
+ - The envelope is output as a 0-10 signal at port ENV. Its inverse (10V - ENV) is output at INV. When a release stage completes, a trigger is emitted at END.
- When MODE is TRIGGER, the CYCLE switch controls whether the envelope loops or not upon completion of a release stage.
- Toggles allow selection of linear, exponential or inverse-exponential shapes for the attack, decay and release stages.
- The RETRIG switch controls the retrigger behavior (when a new gate or trigger happens while the envelope is running): ATT immediately attacks from the current envelope value (this is the typical behavior with many ADSRs), while RST causes a full reset of the envelope (restarting it at the delay stage).

-SHAPER emulates the function of the Envelope Generator section of the classic [EMS VC3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMS_VCS_3) and related synths. It combines an envelope with a VCA. Unlike an ADSR, the envelope stages are Attack, On, Decay and Off -- with linear movement in the attack and decay stages, this produces a signature trapezoidal envelope shape.

Unlike an ADSR, the envelope stages are attack, on, decay and off, producing a signature trapezoidal envelope shape.
Features:
- - The ATTACK, ON, DECAY and OFF knobs specify times from nearly zero to 10 seconds. The Speed switch allows these times to be multiplied by 10.
- - The trapezoid envelope is output as a 0-10 control signal at port ENV, subject to attenuation by the ENV knob. (INV outputs the inverse envelope.)
- - Audio input at port IN is sent through the internal VCA -- controlled by knob SIGNAL and the envelope -- to port OUT.
- - A trigger CV at the TRIGGER port, or a press of the TRIGGER button, will start the envelope cycle. When the off stage completes, a trigger is sent out at port END. If the CYCLE switch is set to LOOP, the envelope restarts immediately.

+ - Audio input at port IN is sent through the internal VCA -- controlled by knob SIGNAL and the envelope -- to port OUT. Turning up the SIGNAL knob can dramatically amplify the signal. [This is actually a design error, but enough people have used it this way that we leave it be.]

This can be applied to channels 1-8 of the input, or channels 9-16. Any input patched to an input other than input 1 will override the "spread" signal.

PRESSOR is a stereo [compressor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression) and [noise gate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_gate) with many controls and a sidechain input. A compressor attenuates signals louder than a threshold level; a noise gate attenuates signals quieter than a threshold level.
-The module's signal path has two main components: a detector, and the compressor/gate. The detector -- effectively an envelope follower -- analyzes the inputs (including the sidechain input, if in use), producing a control signal which is used to control the compressor/gate. The detector signal is also output at ENV.

The detector -- effectively an envelope follower -- analyzes the inputs (including the sidechain input, if in use), producing a control signal which is used to control the compressor/gate. The detector signal is also emitted at ENV.
The various controls and ports work as follows:
- - The MODE switch sets whether the module works a compressor (COMP) or noise gate (GATE).
+ - The MODE switch sets whether the module works as a compressor (COMP) or noise gate (GATE).
- THRESHOLD sets the threshold in decibels. The default 0dB setting corresponds to the 10V peak-to-peak output level of a standard oscillator. The TRSH input expects a unipolar (+10V) input; if in use this is attenuated by the knob.
- - RATIO sets the degree of attenuation applied to a signal. In compressor mode, higher settings attenuate the signal more as the detector output goes above the threshold; at the maximum setting, the compressor becomes a limiter. In gate mode, higher ratios more completely attenuate inputs below the threshold. The RATIO CV input is unipolar (+10V), attenuated by the knob

In noise gate mode, higher ratios more completely attenuate inputs below the threshold. The RATIO CV input is unipolar (0-10V), attenuated by the knob
- The COMPRESSION meter provides a visual indication of the amount of attenuation being applied to the input at any given moment, and is proportional to the CV output at ENV.
- ATACK and DECAY control lag times in the the movement of the detector signal as the input changes. Each has a corresponding unipolar (+10V) CV attenuated by the corresponding knob.
- The DECTECT switch toggles the detector between RMS and peak level analyzers; RMS averages the input over a short window whereas PEAK uses the instantaneous level.
- KNEE toggles between a slightly softer or harder response as the attenuation turns on or off as the signal crosses the threshold.
- IN GAIN attenuates (up to -12db) or amplifies (up to +12db) the left and right inputs. (It does not apply to the sidechain input.) The modified input is sent to the detector and the compressor/gate. The IGN CV input expects a bipolar (+/-5V) signal which is added to the knob position.
- - OUT GAIN applies up to 24db of amplification to the left and right outputs, after the compressor/gate circuit does its work. The outputs are subject to saturation (soft limiting at +/-12V). The IGN CV input expects a bipolar (+/-5V) signal which is added to the knob position.

- IN/SIDE controls the input to the detector, as a mix/crossfade between the left/right inputs (which are processed by IN GAIN, then summed), and the sidechain input.
Several of the settings can take fairly extreme values (e.g. OUT GAIN); this allows the module to be used as a distortion effect.
