the problem I have here is the maximum & minimum range is as much as I can squeeze out of the 8 bit timer. The maximum is the minimum/256. The only way currently to get the longer and shorter envs is by changing the timer interrupt speed which is a simple workaround. I will look at this but I am not sure it is possible to make the range larger. The same problem occurs with the LFO clock speeds which is why I am running LFO2 at double LFO1 to give you more range.

Murray
