Modulating Filter Envelope Sustain gets unexpected results

  • Hello all,
    So, I was hooking up some modulation the other day and came across something I can't figure out.
    When modulating the Filter Envelope Sustain with an LFO Square wave there is a slope on one side of the modulation.
    The initial mod is correct, bringing the sustain to zero but the up slope of the Square LFO slopes back up and "sounds" more like a Sawtooth LFO.
    Here's the situation: (parents went away for a weeks vaca....)
    1. Set an Initial patch on the Virus
    2. Set OSC balance to full left (100% OSC 1)
    3. Set Filter to SPLIT and Filter Balance full left (100% Filter 1) (uncheck any link between the 2 filters)
    4. Set Filter Envelope A=0 D=0 Sustain=64 Slope =0 R=0 (effectively a square wave in itself)
    5. Set LFO1 to Square wave and 1/1 (set tempo to 120bpm)
    6. Set LFO1 Assign destination to "Filter Env Sustain" and amount to full right
    7. Press and hold a key.
    You hear the initial snap of the Square wave and then it slopes back up.
    Strange.
    I would think that the mod would tell the Env Sustain to go from 64 to 0 back to 64 and nothing in between.
    The only thing I didn't test before I came to work was to set the slope to negative or modulate the slope as well as the Sustain.
    Any ideas why this is happening?


    Thanks...
