Can you provide examples of instruments that work that way? I know of none. 

In the 39 years I have been playing synthesizers I have not seen a single
example of this before now. I have synthesizers made as early as 1973 (Korg
700, Roland SH-1000, Polymoog, Arp Axxe-1975), Late 70s (Yamaha CS-10, 15,
20m, 40m, Roland Sh-2, Korg MS-10), and some that are brand new (Roland
SE-02, Korg Arp Odyssey, Korg MS-20mini, DSI Tetra, Mopho and REV 2) and
many in between. None of them behave in this manner.

And I can't see any point to setting the time settings to zero which
effectively makes it a gate. I find it very difficult to believe that
someone would design an envelope generator that could not actually be used
as an envelope generator! This certainly does not solve the problem.

Thanks
Scott

Hello,

I'd say this is normal depending on the setting of the envelope and on the
setting of the MIDI-interfaces retrigger parameter. All analogue envelopes
without full reset (in fact all the ones that you are using) ill add up a
bit if the time settings are not zero. Before the times of velocity
keyboards good keyboard players used this behaviour to simulate some
velocity like effects.

Set the Attack, Decay and Release values of your envelopes to zero (at the
A-140 set the time range to short) and the sustain to maximum. Then this
behaviour should disappear.
