4ms Pingable Envelope Generator
- Order number: 120004
- Depth: 26
A double, digital, clockable, loopable envelope generator with lots of preset shapes and skew-ability: The 4ms Pingable Envelope Generator.
The Pingable Envelope Generator (PEG) is a talented modulation source from the 4ms company. Very flexible, you can generate various modulations and always stay in the rhythm.
The two channels are very similar in structure and can be operated with trigger clock or tap tempo. PEG then recognizes the time interval between the triggers and generates modulations accordingly. You can then set the division or multiplication of this time and play with interesting values like 3, 5, and 7! Of course, PEG also has a Cycle mode, which can be toggled on and off via a gate in the T-input (Ratchets!).
With Curve, you can select the waveform, easily transitioning from logarithmic to linear to exponential slopes. Scale allows you to offset the wave, and Skew assigns the existing time of the wave to Attack, Decay, or Both. Practical: The bipolar button allows you to quickly center your wave around 0V, giving you a nice LFO with a +/-5V range.
PEG has a variety of CV outputs for End of Rise, End of Fall, Half-Rise, as well as uni- and bipolar versions of modulation. The OR output combines the two envelopes in a Max-Logic and always outputs the highest present voltage.
The many CV inputs allow you to generate very interesting wave movements because the fun really begins when you modulate the modulations of the modulations!
Pingable Envelope Generator is a great tool for rhythmic modulations and everything beyond!
Features:
- Dual envelope generator
- Envelope time set by pings
- Tap tempo button or clock sets the ping time
- Multiple or division of the ping time (from /8 to x8) with knob and CV
- Curve knob and CV control the shape of the output envelope
- Skew knob and CV control the ratio between rise and fall times
- Scale knob is an attenuating inverter for main envelope output (Maximum 0V to +10V non-inverted, and Minimum -10V to 0V inverted)
- Bi-polar button centers main envelope output around 0V (-5V to +5V output)
- +5V ENV jack is a non-scaling output that always produces a 0V to +5V envelope, regardless of Scale and Bi-polar settings
- OR jack outputs an analog Max of the two scaled envelope curves
- End-of-Rise (EOR), End-of-Fall (EOF) and Half-Rise gate output
- Cycle mode
- T-Input toggles Cycle mode with gates

PEG @ 4ms
Based in Portland (Oregon, US) Dan Green and Jeannot Quenson had a years experience already building guitar pedals. Since one input/output and tone and volume control felt a bit limiting, they applied their knowledge and passion to building a wide range of modules. Their collaboration with Matthias Puech (developer of the Clouds' Parasites alternative firmware) and Gary Hall (designer of the Lexicon PCM42) have proved to be very fruitful.
