It pays to have synths with looping envelopes, ala Prophet VS.
A looping envelope is just like a regular multistage envelope
except that the looping point/stages are definable.  For example:

T1: 50  L1: 50
T2: 10  L2: 100
T3: 50  L3: 25
T4: 25  L4: 50

Repeat:  1 -> 3

For a looping envelope we introduce the key "repeat" parameter.
This defines which stages will repeat.  This could be set to
1 -> 2, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 4, 1 -> 3, 2 -> 4, 1 -> 3, etc, etc.  
So what happens in the above scenario is that we get a medium
attack to 50% level, then a speedy jump to 100%, then a medium
decay to 25%, then a jump to 50% in the fourth stage.  Since we
defined repeat as 1 -> 3, nothing happens in the first stage since
stage 1 is also set at 50%.  But then we get a quick jump to 100%
then decay to 25% then back to stage 1 over and over again.

Attached is a rough approximation of what the CV output would
be when a gate/trigger is received.
