Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

That seens *very* odd.  The values supplied directly through control knob, and indirectly through modulation have *opposite* effects on the envelope parameters ????   That sounds crazy!  Did Dave say why he designed it that way?  Counter-intuitive UI decisions like this always make a synth harder to use
(at least for me, but I suspect for most folks); I'm surprised he did this.
