Randomness is my friend;-)

How can you use a ramp for attack without using it's decay/ The
start/end times are not adjustable as with envelopes?

I've heard this many times over the years- that the XPander ramps are
faster than the envelopes, but my ear doesn't hear this, probably
because I'm not doing something else correctly with the ramp.

It's not complicated- although the UI could be a little more
convenient to use when sending/receiving patches.

What do you mean- whatever happened to it?
