Florian,

I accidentally replied to Olivier, not the list, so you won't have seen =
that my 3 AD generators are provided by a Maths (channels 1 and 4) and a =
Mother-32 - not a sustain or release in sight:). I'm satisfied that my =
understanding was correct, so it's a patching error somewhere, which =
isn't a big surprise.

Best wishes.

Its important to remember, that the receiving module decides how the two =
triggers, which form a gate, are used.

For your percussive sound you need a dedicated AD-Envelope like the =
Maths or the Intellijel QuADra or the A-143. Those start their envelope =
and let it run until the end - no matter whether they receive the end of =
the gate before the end of the envelope or not.

If you have a classical ADSR-envelope like the Doepfer A-140, it will =
always stop after the end of the gate. That means if the sum of the =
attack and decay time is longer than the gate duration, the decay will =
be interrupted (at least if you did not set a release identical to the =
decay time).
