Well it certainly has his signature on it now (and
my Evolver is MINE, not anyone's . . (and my other one too))
:)
I agree about the faster attack on increase
velocity though. Can't argue with that.

synth! ;) ;
Following is his reponse to an email in which I raised the issue:
"Actually, not a bug. In the old version attack went faster with more
mod, so now decay and release are the same polarity. It's a throw-
back to keyboard control of envelopes, where usually with a harder
key strike you would want faster envelope times. Not always, of
course, but it doesnt matter all that much, since you can control it
just fine either way."
