What do you guys think of this module? Is it worth getting if you have other ADSR's already? 
Anything really special?

Thanks,
Aaron

in a word: YES!!! definitely
a vanilla ADSR with static manual control over the 4 parameters is, pretty much, a one-trick pony
The envelator is anything but...
But your other replies have covered it's multiple personalities already.
I would add that, just by naming this gadget an 'envelator', Grant biases the users perception into applying it strictly as an envelope generator - (but of course he had to call it SOMETHING didn't he?)
My point is that i spent MONTHS 'discovering'
 applications for this thing once i quit thinking of it as a hot-rod EG.
 Others have drawn a comparison to the wonderful Serge DSG module (which i love so well that i bought 3 of them) and that comparison is probably the best one IMHO. All of the functions of the DSG are available and more.
which brings me to...

the feature that is really special to me is the SPEED of this critter. As i mentioned i own a bunch of DSG's which are very 'snappy' in their ramp up & down times.But in hard, side-by-side comparisons, the Envelator is always the last one standing in the quickdraw shootout contests i've conducted. i routinely use the fastest settings on the DSG's for percsussive envelopes. On the envelator i usually have to SLOW the attack DOWN to get the same effects. 
i sometimes wonder if the attack isn't ramping up BEFORE the trigger!!!

hope this helps
get an envelator - you won't be bored!
