Subject:NI Amp Envelope Maps

So I really like the way the Native Instruments amp simulators that come with ACID sound. But I found that I don't use them too often because I found setting up automation for them confusing. So I put together a quick mapping of the the envelopes that correspond to the controls on the amp graphic. (If something like this already exists, I was not able to find it.) I just made it a quick Notepad file on my computer that I'm going to copy and paste below. Unfortunately the Sony forums don't offer anything for text formatting so I hope it looks alright:

The reason for the (Psy.Tim?) on the Plex Combo is because that envelope seems to have an affect on it as well, albeit a little weirdly.

Hope this is useful!
