Currently the modifier damping system slows down continuously approaching the target value. This sounds less than ideal for many things, and makes it impossible to emulate turning a knob at a steady rate. Adjusting the modifier shape might get close enough in one direction, but that makes it even worse in the other direction.
It would be nice to have the option of a steady rate. Set maximum travel time to 1 second and it would go from 0-20% in 200 ms, 0-50% in 500 ms, etc.
The volume block's auto-swell mode also uses modifier-style damping, and it makes every taper increase very quickly then slow down greatly. "5" on the (unseen) volume control is reached in about 1/7 of the total swell time swell instead of halfway. The tapers are almost indistinguishable from each other with slight tweaking of attack time. The total swell duration is several times that of the displayed attack time. It would probably be less confusing if attack time = swell time. A few inverse log options might be worth including, for more ideal versions of the current auto-swell curves.
