Envelope Generators (EGs) are used to shape the amplitude, pitch, and frequency domain content of the synthesized signal. The three applications are usually called Amp-EG, Pitch-EG, and Filter-EG, respectively. In this chapter we will investigate and code an envelope generator that will provide the basic functionality we need for all three applications. An Amp-EG is referred to as a Transient Generator (TG) on older synthesizers. The transient generator shapes the time domain or transient edge of the signal. The Amp-EG is applied to a controlled amplifier. In analog synths, this is a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) whereas on a digital synth, this is a Digitally Controlled Amplifier (DCA). ...
