attack times for instance are usually located in the 5-200 ms range whereas the kind of amplitude modulation I'd like to have with such a feature (multi-point sustain looping) are more in the 0.5-2Hz (500-2000ms) range (my primary interest in this case being rather to create a smooth amplitude modulation than a "ring-modulation like" effect).
So in the case of creating a envelope GUI (let's call it envelope and even break point envelope rather than AnDnSR (-:) this is something I would consider: the ability to draw some parts of the envelope in one time range and some other in other parts. Typically A and D in the 1-1000ms range then (multi-)S and R in the 500-2000ms (in my current case).
Just exposing my thoughts and ideas. But if you implement such a thing, I'd definitely use it (-;
Agree, I forget where I saw it but remember a synth that had (x2 x8 x32 x128) modifiers for each envelope stage. Otherwise the visual range/resolution of at least one stage is suboptimal in a typical envelope.
