I'm sorry - that's not possible because of the diode polarities in the A-140
and A-134-2 which are used to define the charge/discharge of the envelope
capacitor. Only "diode-free" ADSR designs (like the A-141) allow to adjust
the sustain level into both directions while the envelope is in the decay
phase(i.e. while the gate is "on" and the attack state is completed).
