Envelope Generator

Wouldn't it be lovely if they made (so many sentences about analog gear start out this way) a dedicated ADSR envelope generator.
For severe modulation, I like to use a variety of CV to affect various parameters. An envelope could be patched to CV inputs on Moogerfoogers or Voyager. This could be triggered by any number of gates, LFO, S&H etc.
I have used a MF-101 for an envelope, but it doesn't have stellar tweakability. With the VX-351, I can borrow one or both of the envelopes, but they still continue to control the volume and filter, meaning they're not independant envelopes.
Make it into a sweet little rack-mount control processor like the 251. Maybe throw in a gate triggered LFO (like on the Voyager) or two. I'd snatch up one or two of something like that, given the option. The ability to trigger and manipulate the shape of CVs makes for really good effects sequencing.
Don't get me wrong...I love my 2 CP-251s. But lately I'm wanting more than they can give me. I was hoping to see an improved CV processer (CP-252?) before a fifth pedal was released (don't get me wrong there either...I can't wait to get my hands on a new MF-105).
