Not sure wether I get the idea but for the spike one could route the
same gate which starts the actual adsr into a vca.
A multifeatured module for a special purpose (ripple) should have
inputs to break up the normalization eg. one might use a random CV
instead of the LFO etc. Thus the idea comes down to a VCA plus EG
module with different parameters.
Personally I'd like to see another EG *inspired* from the MS50's EG2
even though it could be realized with the A140 plus A162. However
the features of the mentioned EG in one single module are very handy
especially if VC-controll would be added to chosen parameters. (For
those not familiar with the EG2. The slope is HDAR = Hold: duration
after trig., Delay: delays the beginnning plus the usual AR.)
Anyhow, I doubt very much that Doepfer is willing to release one
more EG.
