???-Attack-Decay-Sustain-Delay-Release?

Some questions:
=09* What's the first state?

=09* Why no Hold between Attack and Decay?
=09  (Nice for tweaking fast, percussive sounds.)

=09* Is Delay a minimum note-off->release delay,
=09  the maximum duration of the sustain state,
=09  or what? (Both seem useful to me...)


Anyway, I still prefer generic N-stage EGs, something like those in=20
FastTracker (and clones) and some h/w synths. They can easily be=20
extended with conditional loops and stuff, to handle release and to=20
double as event sync'ed LFOs.

The implementation is really rather similar to that of an ADSR, DAHDSR=20
or whatever, except that you have only one state, supporting whatever=20
transition methods you need, and then a list of arbitrary lenght,=20
containing now parameters for each section of the envelope.
