descending saw tooth. A triangle results from identically raised ATTACK
and DECAY values. Since the envelope controls use logarithmic scaling,
the resulting EG waveforms will differ slightly from the linear preset LFO
waveforms.

Envelope Generator (EG)

Retroverb Lancet’s envelope generator (EG) generates a variety of envelope
shapes depending on the trigger source used. It will work as an Attack/
Decay envelope when using triggers from the audio input or the TRIGGER
IN. It will work in three phases (Attack, Sustain, Release) when using gate
input signals at TRIGGER IN. The sustain period cannot be adjusted in
Retroverb Lancet. It is dependent on the duration of the incoming gate sig-
nal. The release phase will follow once the gate signal has been ended. To
select between audio- or gate-trigger, use the TRG SRC switch. The follow-
ing parameters are available for contour shaping:

ATTACK

adjusts the rising time from 0ms to 10s (maximum level).

DECAY/RELEASE

adjusts the decay time for the sound between 0ms to 15s.

SENSE

SENSE controls the sensitivity for the trigger source. SENSE will be inac-
tive with GATE being selected as trigger source.

TRIG SRC

TRIG SRC sets the trigger source:

INPUT

the audio input

GATE

a 5 volts gate voltage applied to the TRIGGER IN input.

AUDIO

audio signal fed into TRIGGER IN.
