Just tried a bunch of things, all with either gates from Tempi, EOC triggers from Maths, or else envelopes from Maths.
Without audio, we can’t know if we’re all hearing the same things, but: with gates, I get a sharp attack “click” with:
- Optomix v1
- LxD, both channels
- DPO
- DPLPG
This is more pronounced if I’m feeding it mellow lower frequency content. I tried a sine as you suggested. When it’s lower frequency, I hear the attack more. When the sine is higher frequency, I hear it less. My guess is it blends better with the higher frequency sine. But so with higher frequency sounds, I get the sort of “lovely” ping from all these LPGs, including the DPLPG. With lower frequency sounds, I get the onset “click”, including with the DPLPG.
With my RxMx and a gate triggering the strike, I get a much mellower sound even with the low frequency content. Each input is different, but none of them quite have the harsh onset that I’m hearing with hard square gates on the other LPGs.
If I feed a gentler slope into Strike on any of my LPGs, I get a correspondingly gentle attack. This surprised me, as I thought Strike was a strictly triggered thing with the same response once it got a high enough voltage change. Apparently it can be used somewhat like the CV/Control input though with a different character.
So, yeah, slew a bit as @coreyr suggested? Or accept it as the character of that circuit and work with it. But again, given similar inputs, my DPLPG has the same “issue” as my MN LPGs, so it might come down to the vactrols, etc.
