Modulators with envelope generators + using midi from track

I’d love to have envelope generators

Use the ModScripter. I am not certain if it is already a standard preset in 14.0.20 but Arne posted it here in case it is not yet included:

ModScripter Scripts

A classical ADSR triggered via MIDI Input: //----------------------------------------------------------- getDescription = function () { return "ADSR"; } //----------------------------------------------------------- makeParameter = function (name) { var value = 0; var listeners = []; return { name: name, units: "", stepCount: 0, toString: function (val) { return val; }, fromString: function (str) { return parseFloat (str); }, addListener: function (obj) { listeners.push (obj); …

And rather than side-chaining to an awkward setup utilizing another midi track, it should work from midi which is on the track you’re using.

Personally I rather don’t like this idea. It would mean to define certain midi parameters that ought to not go to the instrument but only to the modulator. I find adding a midi sidechain much more elegant for this. Also, midi sidechaining allows to address modulators on audio tracks.

So, above script needs a midi sidechain track.

Ideally you could also use different sources of midi: that is, trigger, gate, velocity, keyboard, aftertouch/pressure, modwheel, etc.

Trigger is basically Note On and already available in the ModScripter. So is velocity. Gate is not a midi parameter, ie. I don’t understand what you mean with Gate. Maybe Note Off?

BTW - if you want to midi control the six knobs from the ADSR script you can use the Generic Purpose Controller 1-6 for this task.
