Are 'rates automatically scaled' for AEG envelopes as they were for the TX16W? If so, what exactly does that mean?

I don't need to offer my opinion about OP3 - I already gave the way. First Mute OP7,OP8. Crank up OP6's decay1 time so the envelope stays non-zero f...

The reason why it doesn't matter is Manny is setting up a change in the frequency response and is using attack level + time to get at the desired resu...
