Pigments allows the creation of essentially 2 separate sounds when parallel filters are used and the split output sent to FXA and FXB. However, there is a limitation. Both synth engines are using Env VCA, so share an amplitude envelope. I know there are workarounds to this such as setting Env VCA to max sustain and release, then using Env 2 and 3 or a Function in Envelope mode to control the volume of each synth engines independently. But this is then using 3 Envelopes when really only 2 are needed. Can Env VCA have a toggle for example so that it affects either Synth Engine 1 AND 2 or just Engine 1, allowing a second Envelope to control Engine 2 and thus allow an Envelope to be freed up?

Hi @Funtmaster
That’s an interesting idea for sure!
I will mark this topic as a feature request to let our team know about it.

Popped a vote in - Would love independent VCA’s for each engine.
For me, having the sub/bass on engine 3 come in fairly fast and the pads on engine 1 & 2 with slow attack without modulating the volume with another Envelope would be great.
