Slowing down the envelope means a duller attack, that means it's not 
nice and sharp. That's what I'm looking for, and I've found that in 
Plan B Model 12 in High Q mode and A-106-1 Xtreme Filter.

mirror_saw7778, here are audio demos that demonstrate more clearly 
what I'm talking about:

THUMP: http://www.elanhickler.com/misc/thumpy.wav
NO THUMP: http://www.elanhickler.com/misc/not_thumpy.wav

In the NO THUMP example, the attack is nice and sharp, no thump. No 
need to slow down the envelope. the THUMP example is using the a-132-
3/
