Envelopes
  * 2 Independent envelopes
  * ENV 1 normalised to amplitude
  * ADSR
  * + Sustain Fall parameter for shaping during key-down
  * + Repeat which can be used to create looping envelopes
  * Velocity positive and negative control
 

Ring modulation


Mixer
  * First mix: OSC1 and OSC2
  * Second mix: OSCillators and noise
  * Third mix: OSCillators + noise and Ring modulator
