I suggest that something actually more important that the ranges of values for envelope parameters is the envelope curves themselves. Despite the little diagrams, attack, decay, and release behavior in real analog synths are not straight lines. Some digital models let you select different curves. Also if you can modulate your modulators you can envelope your envelopes to create different curves. Lots of options in how you build this | |

One might think that's unusable, but look at how the developer Bob Yannes used the four bits: c64-wiki.com/wiki/ADSR In short, there is one table (or value mapping) for Attack, and another for D and R times (S being sustain level, not time), each with a different set of values, allocating values for musically meaningful ranges of each. | |
