I was playing with the LPs evelopes yesterday and those things are so great, i can’t get over how much nicer they are then my Synthesizers.com modular EGs. They are so much more musical and it seems like they are really focused on the music making lengths of time for each setting. I just feel like my dotcom EGs are just so broad and usually the zones where i want to focus on have 2 degrees of usability instead of the 270 degrees on the LP.
Same thing goes for the Glide, it actually opens up way more sound options by having at least 180 degrees of the pot translate into quicker slew times. My slew limiter on the dotcom has these absurdly slow slew rates which can be nice for certain types of music but if you are trying to play anything other then slow moving, evolving, experimental sound it can be really annoying.
All this may be old news for users of popular all-in-one synthesizers (basically anything created since the minimoog) that aren’t patchable but since the modular was pretty much my first synth its really nice to have things “designed” for what they are permenently used for instead of making a multi-purpose-modular-module which can do X, Y or Z but none of them perfect.
