I know that. I'm not looking for a completely authentic 303  
emulation- I know you'd never get that from a Poly/EX-800. But  
several people on the list have mentioned wanting various envelope  
parameters to respond to MIDI velocity, so this might be a nice  
simple, and flexible, way of achieving that.
