Dual Trigger Delay
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The SW911A Dual Trigger Delay is designed to be used with 2 or more SW911 Envelope Generators. It provides one or two time delays on an input trigger voltage – bound for the activation of an envelope V-trigger. Delay stops immediately upon termination of input trigger.
Three different modes of operation are available via coupling mode switch:
OFF: Delays are activated independently through individual trigger inputs
PARALLEL: Trigger input on top SW 911A activates timing circuit on both simultaneously.
SERIES: Trigger input on top 911A activates top timing circuit, then triggers second timing circuit upon delay time of first.
This Module is based on the original design from 1968
MUSICAL APPLICATION
Standard synthesizer envelopes provide anywhere from two to four DC voltage settings over a triggering period. In practice, acoustically generated sounds have many variations of amplitude or filtration within a given articulation or generation. The use of a SW911A to couple envelopes together creates a much more complex series of voltage variations for the synthesist to use for the articulation of each sound.
