I think the issue is how easy it is to end up with -inf values in envelopes.

It's totally fine with the current envelope system, but with overlapping AIs it gets rather confusing.

Take this example:


  1. In the first example with the Parametric LFO at an amplitude of 100; my highest value of the combine envelope is -1.82dbFS. My lowest value is a huge jump down to -inf. The visual representation of a modulated sine is not what's being rendered.
  2. In the first example with the Parametric LFO at an amplitude of 99; my highest value of the combine envelope is -1.86dbFS. My lowest value is -46.2dbFS. The visual representation of a modulated sine is intact.


So I won't beat this to death, but I wish to restate that I understand the logical idea behind this. However, the resulting behaviour is unintuitive and can cause unexpected behaviour that's difficult to track down.

Thank you for humouring me in this specific topic.
