i always did it with 4 

you learn something every day

  Yes, that's correct - for 4 segments of ADSR envelope we need only 3 
  steps of CZ envelope.

  As I mentioned we'll get ASR envelope when L2 = L1.

  Don't mix together envelope segment and CZ envelope steps, both are 
  quite different beasts without direct connection.
