Corsynth 5U Module C106 Dual Loopable VC AD Envelope

The C106 Dual Loopable VC AD Envelope is a moog sized 5U AD envelope that works in loop mode (as an LFO, so to say) and can trigger the other envelope as well – that means you can set them to trigger each other after one shot as the decay time has passed.. so there’s gat outs and signals when that happens as well so envs, trigger cue point and the envelopes themselves are all CV equipped for the outside world.. Corsynth bringt ein schlaues Doppel-AD-Hüllkurven-Modul in Moog-Größe (5HE) – beide Hüllkurven…
