Envelopes using the modwave Motion Sequencer

This page is a work-in-progress; I'll try to revisit this and add some useful content to it. In which I describe how to implement complex envelopes such as DADSR (sort of) and DW-8000-style ADBSSR envelopes using the motion sequencer in the modwave. The principles extend to…
