SHAPE: Selecting the Stage Slope
Each time parameter of an envelope (except Delay) has a user-selectable property
called slope. This term refers to how the attack, decay and release stages accelerate
(speed up) or decelerate (slow down) as each stage approaches its target level.

slope means that the time settings do not accelerate (or decelerate)
as the stage progresses towards its target level. In the illustration above, notice
