The AI003 Looping ADSR Envelope

Generator DIY Kit is a looping ADSR

Envelope Generator. It can be

manually triggered via Momentary

Push Button, Gated via the Gate

Signal, Triggered or re-triggered by

a Trigger input, or set into a loop

mode via a toggle switch. An LED

shows the status of the output.

This Looping ADSR Envelope

Generator DIY Kit circuit was

derived (with permission) from the

great and simple circuit (only 2 ICs!)

from Nicolas on the

Electromusic.com forums. With

some help from the great Dave

Brown, the circuit was updated to

provide additional voltage

protection, more uniform

looping and gate behavior, more

precise LED monitoring, and some

nice user experience updates.

In Gate or Trigger mode, the

envelope can be used as a

traditional ADSR envelope

generator. In loop mode, the output

sends a variable exponential

waveshape between Ramp, Triangle,

and Sawtooth LFO with control over

the attack and decay of the LFO

shape.

The modes are dependent on

whether or not the gate jack is

inserted, and for triggers, the

Sustain level - see the chart below.

We will be releasing a more

traditional ADSR with "normal"

gating functions shortly (but with

twice the part count and no AD

loop).

All jacks, knobs, and other

components are soldered directly to

the PCB. There is no wiring, making

this kit ideal for those who know

how to solder, but are still starting

out in their DIY Synthesis journey.

We recommend this kit as the

third module you build. It is easy,

has only two ICs, and can be built in

a single sitting. If it works, you are

ready to build other modules.

This is a really great,
simple ADSR envelope
generator. I built this as
my 6th module and did it
short of 2 hours. Super
nice PCB layout and had
ample room when
soldering components.
The envelope itself
performs really well!

Very clear and easy to understand
guide. It was also easy to source
parts from Tayda to save a little
~money~ along the way. I built it
in a few hours and have been very
happy with its performance. It
does exactly what it promises and
was a very inexpensive and fun
build.

I’ll definitely be keeping my eye

out for more AI Synthesis stu!!

This is a really great, simple ADSR
envelop generator. I built this as
my 6th module and did it short of
2 hours. Super nice PCB layout
and had ample room when
soldering components. The
envelop itself performs really
well! I wasn’t sure about the lack
of low, medium, and high range
selection but the circuit is
designed to not need that. It’s a
very wide range on each
parameter. Would have liked an
additional EG out or an inverted
envelop but for the price, it’s an
exceptional performer! If you’re
new to DIY but have built at least
one other module, this one would
be great next.
