velope will be scaled with the keyboard velocity (i.e. how hard or soft you play). This is normally
used to make higher velocity (louder notes) produce brighter sounds (because of higher modulation
of the filter or the Timbre), which is how most acoustic instruments behave.

In Repeat mode, the Modulation Envelope restart directly after the Decay phase, creating cyclic mod-
ulation, like an LFO with shapable waveform, where you can change the waveshape and cycle time
by adjusting the Attack and Decay times.
A slow looping Mod Envelope can be used for example to produce continuously sweeping pads,
while shorter Attack and Decay settings can produce special effects or repetitive sounds.
