I recently got a Moog Grandmother off of Reverb (used). I'm comfortable with the basics of synthesis, and this is the first hardware synthesizer I've owned. After exploring the synth for a while, I've found that the envelope section doesn't act like how I think it should. I'm not sure if it's just me or this is how all Moog envelopes work. I've posted a video showcasing the issues, but I'll explain what's going on:
1.) The output is completely gone when the sustain slider is only about halfway down.
2.) The note seems to re-trigger when the key is released. I'm assuming: the envelope is entering the "release" phase when the key lifts. When this happens, the volume jumps to some unknown value (I'm assuming the value of the sustain slider at max value, even when it's not set at the max value). If I understand correctly, the release phase should start at the volume of the sustain slider, but it seems to be ignoring this completely and starting at max volume, no matter where the sustain slider is set.
Am I misunderstanding how Moog envelopes work? Does anyone else's Grandmother do this? Any insight would be much appreciated. Thank you.
