I just bought a Sherman Filter Bank 2 ( ) and I’m very impressed with it. One of the cool things is the abilty to have negative sustain levels on the EG. I realise the Voyager can invert the filter envelope with a negative envelope amount, but it is something different to have (with lots of resonance) a positive attack, a slow decay, and then a HUGE (speaker ripping ) bass drop.
The question: can you send a negative CV to the sustain jack, with the knob at zero? Could it be something implimented into software (negative sustain level)?
I guess I could use the FB’s envelope out to the cutoff CV input, but it would be nice to have it straight on the Voyager.
I also have the Sherman FB (rack version), and it’s quite a versatile piece of kit. I find that the Sherman’s envelope CV outputs are a great programming resource for the Voyager, as is the LFO. Congrats on your acquisition!
MC is right about the sustain input (the Voyager has no such input). However, the Voyager does have a number of bi-polar CV inputs that would accept an ADSR with a negative sustain envelope. These include:
Pan
Filter
Pitch
Mod 2
SH In
Envelope Rate
LFO Rate
For more details here, take a look at the Voyager Controller Inputs Reference page on SquareWave (look in Files/Voyager Essentials). This reference contains the essential information on all of the Voyager’s control input jacks.
Might be a silly question, but how about sending a negative CV through the MOD input, and pot-mapping to sustain? Or, using the pedal/on buss, pot mapping to sustain, but inverting the modulation?
