Hmmm... what exactly do you have patched?  Sounds like you're trying to
do some sort of retriggering filter, retriggered by an LFO.  In that
case, I'd suggest playing with the four stages you have in the FiltEnv
and possibly trying the tempo-based envelope mode (if that's of
interest to you).  If you need to still have it retrigger after release
(which would be the only difference between the repeating FiltEnv and
your retriggered AuxEnv), try hooking up a square wave LFO+ to
AuxEnvTrig at 100%.

Think about it this way:  the LFO output is a number that goes from 0
to 100 (or 0 to 128, or 0.0 to 1.0, however you want to think about
it).  That output is then multiplied by the amount percentage.  If you
multiply by 50%, you'll get 0-50; -100%, you'll get 0 to -100 (-100% x
0 = 0, -100% x 100 = -100).  Then, when connected to a destination, it
adds with all other sources connected to that destination.  So if you
have:
LFO+ -> Pitch @ -100%   and
DC   -> Pitch @  100%
when the LFO is 0, you'll get 100 at Pitch (-100% x 0(lfo value) + 100%
x 100(dc value) = 100) and when the LFO is 100, you'll get 0 at Pitch
(-100% x 100(lfo value) + 100% x 100(dc value) = 0).

Sorry if that was a tad bit technical, but hope it helps.  If the
FiltEnv thing doesn't work for you still, post the cords you have
connected and what you're trying to get it to do...
