MATHS Vari-Response continuously morphs the function slope from logarithmic through linear to exponential

The Vari-Response control on MATHS Channels 1 and 4 shapes the rise/fall curve continuously from logarithmic through linear to exponential and hyper-exponential (the tick mark is linear). With log response the rate of change is fast when the voltage is low and slows as it rises — snappy, percussive attacks that then tail off. With exponential response the rate of change grows as the voltage rises — slow attacks that sweep into a peak; hyper-exponential gives the sharpest transients. Linear holds a constant rate. Because it reshapes the same rise/fall times, Vari-Response changes both the timing feel and the perceptual character of envelopes and LFO waveforms; longer cycles come from more logarithmic curves, the fastest sharpest functions from extreme exponential.

Examples

Full LOG -> snappy percussive decay. Full EXPO -> slow-building attack. Linear -> constant-slope triangle/ramp.

Assessment

You want a plucky envelope with a fast attack and a slow tail. Which Vari-Response direction do you set, and what does the linear (tick-mark) setting produce instead?
