Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, aparently I overlooked yours…
First concerning the envelopes:
The dot in the envelope shapes indicates that it is a restarting envelope: It always starts from a value of 0. Not the most desirable for a 303-emulation if you ask me, for it makes ties sound differently: you will hear a slide, but in the mean time the note triggers again.
Second:
I am curious to hear your emulation, please do post .syx files!!!
Third:
Right now I’m experimenting with using an extra envelope to send to filt freq, with no dot and slow attack and a medium slow decay. This in trying to emulate the “stacking of accents” as described in Robin Whitttle’s excellent analysis of the sound behaviour of a 303, linked to in one of the posts above,

Finding this article an interesting read

The challenge in this is making this aux envelope only gets triggered in accents. I might have to look for another way of programming accents on A4 than usinging its inbuilt accent feature… When I get to a better emulation than I posted earlier, I will of course post another syx-file (with additional instructions on programming accents… if necessary).
Good luck, and above all keep enjoying playng with A4!!!
