They are exponential (for log-vs-exp see Ville Oikarinens comment).

It is quite difficult (but not impossible) to create linear envelopes 
with an analogue circuit, but it is dead simple to create an exponential 
envelope.

Take as a basic princible: you have usually always a controlling source 
(example: Envelope or LFO) and a controlled destination (example: VCA, 
VCF). To get a linear increase of the recognized behaviour, always 
combine an exponential part with a linear part. Means:

Use a linear VCA with analogue envelopes (because the envelope is 
exponential).
Use an exponential VCA with an LFO (because the LFO is always linear).
