====================

is the limiting factor here the size of the code? or the size of the RAM? 
with the HAWK v1.3 how many envelopes could be precomputed and held in RAM 
(assuming the functionality is available to all EGs, but even then can we 
dynamically trade resolution for how many EGs respond to velocity)?

how thoroughly has the EG code been optimized? what if there's only one EG 
in the firmware, and ALL of the envelopes are precomputed? that might be a 
feasible RAM/ROM tradeoff...? it might even lighten the load if velocity 
isn't even used in a patch...?

damn... it's sure easy to come up with ideas when someone else is writing 
the code ;)
