Muff's Modules & More

chvad

So I have the following envelopes:

Quadra
Doepfer Quad ADSR
Doepfer Quad AD Complex...
Maths
Frequency Central system X ADSR x 2
PEG

The quad adsr i used mainly for long chained evolving textures.

Maths for whatever... I ultimately like the sound but find the knobs too easy to bump and move and frequency I lose things I've dialed in with it.

The system x are my current go to pieces for standard synth parts.

Peg is my rhythmic lfo. Using it for an envelope makes me wanna kill myself so I don't.

Quadra is my current percussive envelope. I think it's pretty great. I was contemplating another of these but thought perhaps the WMD or Malekko would put something else on the table these don't.

I'm thinking about pulling the doepfer quad AD out for either 2 envelators or 2 WMD MME's (no expansion planned).

The independent variable curves on these are the appeal (that's doable on the envelators right?) I played with the MME tonight and its the first time I felt a WMD module was just too cramped so that has me concerned. I haven't ever play with an envelator but the feature set seems appealing.

Input anyone? :)

Have you seen the MSX-EG2 from Alyseum? Seems similar to the enlevator that I was originally also considering, but you get two envelopes in the same 10hp.

In case you'd be wondering about the controls, from what I have read on some French forum, those are push encoders and pressing them accesses the functions labelled next to the white lines. So for example, pressing the second encoder would selects which envelope to edit.

I actually like the not punchy but clicky sound of the 4ms PEG for a change...
Can get punchy with other envelopes but sometimes it is nice to have this accurate click on the attack. YMMV

I have one MME with EXP on the way and plan to get another, unexpanded one in the not so near future (as soon as my wallet recovers)
I think they do look and sound great and I would rather have them over the envelators although I heard they can sound special as well...
But since WMD is tried and true quality products for me, I think I will personally go this way...

I have a PEG and love it but it's more LFOey than envelopey for me... looking for 'lopes myself

You might look at the TipTop Z4000. You know how those Maths knobs are easy to bump (it seems like that's how all MN modules are)? Not on the Z4000. These things are really tough to turn! I bet my grandma couldn't turn em! Oh, and there are some very cool modulation possibilities.

My next envelopio will have to be a small one, I'm having a tough time deciding between the PGH ADSR and the Circuit Abbey ADSRjr.
