sorry this is a very rudimentary question.

would like to use tutorial patch 7 to develop a synth pad but want to sustain the notes for a long, long time then trigger off.

any way that i can trigger the note on to play through the adsr, then sustain until note is triggered off?

as another idea, is there a way to have the function or envelope re-trigger itself as a loop through the sustained tone - i.e.

Note comes on - function or envelope plays over certain duration then keeps repeating it's cycle until note comes off.

You can cmd-click (on mac, not sure on windows) on a [function] to create a "sustain point". Then, if you bang the [function], the output will stop at next sustain point, you can use the (next) message to go to the next sustain point or to the end if there is no more sustain point. See function helpfile, tab "sustain" for more info
