Default RS5k envelopes behave differently when controlled by mouse vs control change

1- load a suitably long sample into RS5k
2- set start and end point so the sample contains less than 2000 ms of sound
3- adjust attack via mouse.
NOTE: attack knob moves the attack param from position 0ms to (sample length ms). DESIRED BEHAVIOR
4- assign attack to MIDI CC.
5- adjust attack via MIDI CC.
ISSUE: attack moves from 0-2000ms regardless of start/end. this behavior is different from the desired behavior that occurs when using the mouse and makes adjusting the attack (and other parameters) too coarse to be useful in performance.

TLDR: please make RS5k params obey the selection time when being controlled by CC.
NOTE this is also an issue with Decay and a couple of other parameters.
NOTE also that for synthesis/sound design purposes, when LOOP ON is enabled, it may be the case that the user wants a longer attack than sample length to be possible. this should be available by "attack length" modification checkbox, or the ability to enter a high and low limit to the knob itself ie "5ms min" and "5000 ms max" ... or something similar ALA "note off release override"

another related issue when mousing:
4b- adjust the sample to contain MORE than 2000 ms of sound
5b- adjust attack via mouse. NOTE: attack knob "tops out" at 2000 ms. this is UNDESIRED behavior, parameter should continue to expand to selection end.

original issue in GIF form:

attack param when controlled by mouse (desired behavior):



attack param when when controlled by CC (undesired behavior):

to add to this, enabling envelopes for these parameters have the same problematic behavior as midi learns do

this remains a significant issue in an otherwise excellent and criminally overlooked sampler.

please give us threshold control so that we can better use this plugin with hardware.

I've not tried to do that with the attack, but I've had other problems.

RS5K really does need some lovin'.

or just allow it to be accessed by the myriad 3rd party developers who exist on this forum

RS5K is unnecessarily crippled right now and i have used it on every project since 2013 so i'm painfully aware of its strengths and limitations
