Just to interject a note here - you can actually switch the envelopes 
between Exponential and Linear, but it's just one setting and it 
affects all 3 envelopes at once. I think Paul's suggestion was 
actually trying to make the curve go down quicker (i.e. away from 
being linear).

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a trick that seemed to add a little 
punch to the attack - if I remember correctly it was a Square Wave 
LFO set to modulate the AMP Env Amount, but it would only work in 
sync with the sequencer I suppose, setting it to hit once per beat. 
It seemed like it was clipping off a small bit of the beginning of 
each note, so the volume jumped quickly with each hit of the square 
wave. Again, this wouldn't work for playing it from MIDI...unless 
there is an LFO Trigger parameter somewhere...I can't remember...
