Voice

A polyphonic voice with envelope and filter that plays notes

What it does

Voice is a complete synth voice with eight-note polyphony: two oscillators, a filter and an ADSR envelope. When a note arrives, the voice opens over Attack, falls during Decay to the Sustain level and, once the note ends, fades out over Release. Cutoff and Q set how bright the filter is, and Env→Cutoff lets the envelope open the filter too, so every note blooms a little at the start.

Try this

Connect Keyboard to Voice and play a few notes of different lengths.

Ports

note: Note: each event starts a new voice
pitch: CV on the pitch of all voices
cutoff: CV on the filter cutoff
out: Audio out

Parameters

Wave · Octave · Detune · Attack · Decay · Sustain · Release · Cutoff · Resonance · Env→Cutoff · Glide · Sub · Noise · FM · Spread · Level

Try this

For ambient pads set Attack to 1–2 s and Release to 5–8 s: notes will wash over each other and merge into a cloud.
Sine, Attack 5 ms, Decay 0.4 s, Sustain 0 and Octave +1 make bells; add a Delay for a scatter of them.
Patch an LFO → Cutoff so the tone of every note breathes slowly, independent of the envelope.
