Verbos Electronics - Polyphonic Envelope
- Order number: 220394
The Polyphonic Envelope is an AHD envelope that, in the well-known Verbos manner, has more going for it than one might first suspect.
Sure...the Polyphonic Envelope is definitely good to use for outputting polyphonic envelopes. This is especially interesting at the moment, as quad modules like quad VCOs, VCAs and VCFs are becoming more and more common. But due to the cascade trigger input and the different cascade modes this module is also an exciting modulation source for monophonic patches. The attack, hold and decay faders change the associated times for all four envelopes (good for polyphonic affairs). The Skew parameters allow the following envelopes to be altered from the shape set by the faders. The Level parameter changes the levels of the envelopes. These/all parameters are of course CV controllable, so nothing stands in the way of complex and generative modulations. Each of the envelopes has its own gate input and end of pulse output. For the cascading output of the four envelopes there is also the Cascade Trigger input, which triggers the following envelope sequentially either at the beginning of the hold phase, at the beginning of the decay phase or at the end of the envelope, depending on the setting of the mode switch. Also there are Stage Outputs of Envelope 1, which output gates when the respective stage of the first envelope is active (only Env. 1!) and two "All" Outputs, which provide the sum of the envelopes and the sum of the End Pulse triggers.
Also commonly known for Verbos modules, this module outputs envelopes up to +10V.

Polyphonic Envelope @Verbos
Mark Verbos started playing electronic music instruments at the early age of 13. He had the chance to learn electronics under the auspices of none other than Grant Richter and became the reference contact person for repairs of vintage Buchla systems. Years later, he started started creating the instruments he uses himself on stage under Verbos Electronics and since 2017 moved operations from NYC to Berlin.
