Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Haha!! I'm sure that's the same logic that manufacturers have when they
don't put concrete real world numbers in the manuals describing their
envelopes and in most cases it's not a problem but in some cases it is. Two
cases that I can think of off hand are trying to do accurate resynthesis
(like on K5k where it came up before) and also timing specific changes in
timbre or amplitude to song tempo. The second application is especially
likely to come up with an instrument that has sophisticated envelopes like
the 8 stagers on the CZ and VZ.

	Jon,
	
	that's an excellent analysis. I agree on all points...
	Except now I find myself wondering why the _exact_
	shape is important at all... I'm sure the perception
	issues are important, and that for different kinds of
	sounds the perceived volume changes will be sort of
	different... So after all, why not use our ears
	when adjusting the enevlopes and such?
