Hold.

You can have initial Delay, and/or a gate Hold that doesn't let the EG go
into Release mode for a set amount of time even after the incoming gate goes
low. The Korg MS-10 had that and I used it a lot, actually. Pretty useful.

Personally, rather than put too many controls on an EG, I would move those
gate-conditioning functions off to a separate module where they can be used
for other things, too. A Gate Delay/Hold module. I was thinking of tinkering
something like that together, maybe based on the Roland System 100
schematic. Or, heck, I think you can use a 555 timer and squeeze most of the
gate conditioning functions you need out of it. It makes more sense to me to
treat those as gating functions than to over-complicate the ADSR. But that's
just one man's opinion, and I can understand why others would disagree.

i was going to ask this question to DIY but i guess i'll do it here; 
what's the 'H' on the HADSR?  same as the 'D' on shemp's DADSR?
