VC sustain doesn't necessarily mean you are changing its level over time. It
could mean you are giving it an initial control voltage everytime you strike
a key. Keyboard velocity could determine its level every note, or a key
triggered S/H for a random sustain level every note. I'd hate to see it get
too confusing or move too far away from what a VC-DADSR is supposed to be
with it replacing sustain with "leakage". There is always the UEG for more
complex decay curves.
