Although I'm a newbie, I do come from a music programming background (SuperCollider*), and it seems confusing that an envelope is already there without you assigning it - although I do understand (now), after re-reading more closely the manual:
"Note that this is not an envelope generator within the Automators, but it rather uses the output of the integrated envelopes of the NerdSEQ to route into the Automators." page 74.
I'm going to go back to the module and see what you've explained.
BTW, I will try (later) to reproduce the original problem that i started this thread with - the SPFX random bit.
* = in Supercollider, there's no envelope until you make/create one and assign it.
That reminds me of my start with NerdSEQ. It took me a long time and lots of "this doesn't work! why is nobody complaining?" until I finally got my head around how envelopes work
Now that I think I have understood them, I find them extremely useful and very easy to use.
The following is specifically targetted towards the Envelopes of the More CV 16 Expander but I think the basic concept applies to the Envelopes of the Main Module as well:
My mental breakthrough was, when I realized that the envelopes as configured are not objects but parameter sets/settings that are used to create/instantiate an envelope whenever it is "used". Namely you can use the "same" envelope on different and overlapping (timewise) notes as they are independent.
I now use them to apply different volume and/or snappiness to notes.
Kind regards,
