OK, I thought it was needed to get the release on the envelope right, but I guess you could just convert that value then.

Well right now I'm just messing around with a drum plug-in idea, so for this purpose it seems this approach will work just fine. However, I also have an idea where detecting transients in an electric guitar signal (clean, line in, no distorsion or fx) is crucial. Do you think this way of doing it will work in that case as well?
