Alright, it seems like your and my intuition agree to some extent. Here is
what I'm considering:
Any "time" based controls will remapped from [0..1] to an actual duration
in seconds, for instance [0sec..5sec]. It also seems like the sustain knob
is backwards in LMMS. Next, is dealing with the Amount (AMT) knob. I
agree with LMMS that the AMT knob for volume envelope should control a mix
between the envelope and 100% gate. The user can use the channel's volume
control if they wish to change the maximum volume. That leaves us with this
fomula
volume = envelope_level * amt + (1-amt), if amt >= 0
volume = envelope_level * amt + 1, otherwise
... or something like that. The case for cutoff and resonance filters will
be slightly different. I haven't decided exactly how, yet :)
