Doepfer

As for punch in ENVs I think it can be called punch. I personally define a
punch ENV as a fast one that can make you filter sweep fast enough to make a
snap or click. That is punchy for me. Filters that can't go that fast like
the VCADSR is what I call sloppy and punchless ;)

I think the standard doepfer ADSR qualifies for punchy. The Kurzweil K2000
synths have sloppy envs as an example of the opposite.
