Product Overview
There are occasions on which you may want to generate a Gate or Trigger at some specified time after a sonic event occurs.
This, for example, allows you to use two VCO/VCF/VCA signal paths - one slightly delayed with respect to the other - to create a single, composite sound each time that you press a key. You could use one VCO/VCF/VCA path to place a "chiff" at the start of a flute or woodwind note, and the second to generate a sustained sound that imitates the body of the real instrument. Alternatively, you can use this technique to create interesting rhythmic structures in which one percussive sound is followed closely by another.
The problems encountered with triggering multiple sounds in this way are twofold. Firstly, you will often wish to initiate the second envelope very soon after the first - more quickly than is possible using your hands. Secondly (and even if the delay between the two Gates is long enough for you to initiate both manually) there's the problem of consistency: the relationship between the two parts of the sound must be the same for each note you play.
To solve these problems there's a dedicated module that will create the appropriate delayed Gates and Triggers for you. It's a Gate Delay.
