Minitaur VCA Envelope Release Time is very short

[timemaster]

My Rev 2 Minitaur has very short VCA Envelope release times. Specs list it at up to 30 seconds, but mine is more like 1.5 - 2 seconds timed with a stopwatch.

These are my settings;

VCA & VCF Envelopes
A= Min
R= Max
S= Mac

Cutoff = wide open
Res = 0
EG amount = 0

Anyone else have this , and is there a fix for this?

From the Minitaur specs
•VCA EG Decay/Release – Sets both the decay time to the sustain level and release time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds. The Release segment of the EG is enabled by the Release On/Off switch.

It isn't that short on mine, but way more then 10 seconds here.

But you know about the different knob modes that might fool you thinking you are at the max release/decay?

And you know about the possible different setting for decay and release envelope stages of the newer firmware versions?
Here the manual addendum for this function:

DECAY/RELEASE CONTROL
REV 2 introduces a new operational mode for the Envelope DECAY/RELEASE knobs.
DECAY AND RELEASE MODES
To toggle between Mode 1 and Mode 2 press and hold the RELEASE switch for 1 second. The RELEASE switch LED will blink one time to indicate Mode 1, or two times to indicate Mode 2. (The selected mode is remembered on power-down).
MODE 1 - Control of DECAY and RELEASE functionality is linked.
MODE 2 - Turning the DECAY/RELEASE knob by itself adjusts DECAY time. To adjust the RELEASE time, press and hold the RELEASE switch while turning the DECAY/RELEASE knob.
NOTE: The Release On/Off function is now toggled when the panel button is released.

Thanks Till!

Changing the Mode seemed to jog the minitaur out of it's problem state.

My Minitaur now behaves better, about 10 second release max, with both release and decay set to max in either of the 2 modes

Hi,
Same here my release time is max 10s...
I really would like to know how to reach the 30s that is mentioned in the manual.
Anyone ?
