Ive been looking at the best way of doing this. At first I was just thinking 4 knobs or sliders each assigned to a stage of the envelope. But in order to sae space and make the control a bit more dynamic I then started looking at the Breakpoint object. This looks like it could be a good way of doing this. Except the value of one point is directly effected by another so you don't get control over the full range of the ADSR stage. Is there a way to set this up to better use it as a control for an ADSR envelope?
Hi friends,
I am new here and I'm digging up this old post because this is the only one I found with ADSR envelopes. I am wanting to link an ADSR to a pad object and then have the pad trigger the envelope to output to a fader (for now-eventually I want to send it out to an external synth).

Any chance anyone could point me towards getting this figured out? I understand that I'll need to tie the ADSR to some sort of clock, but I don't really know how to do it. After that point, I'm guessing you'd need to have some formula that is comparing the passage of time that the clock is doing in relation to the values of the different stages of the envelope, but that's about as far as I have gotten....hoping someone smarter than me has already done all the hard work! :-)
