I used to be addicted to the serge DUSG - I got more "snap" out of 
that module than a 7-foot bullwhip but my DUSG's are gathering a 
little dust since I got a hold of my envelator

here's how I get fast attacks:
send a gate PULSE into the ENV gate input
route the +Out to the control input of your favorite VCA
(I favor linear response for this exercise, but it's a matter if 
taste)
set the mode switch to "AD"
set the attack knob fully clockwise
set the decay knob at 12-noon straight-up and tweak the decay from 
there
that's it!

On my rig I have to have the decay at halfway to hear a even a smidgen 
of the audio. 


I have scoped the envelator output in a side-by-side comparison with 
the DUSG and my I can verify Wiard's claimed  spec AND that it was 
visibly faster and the DUSG at minimum attack speed
