ADSR plugin, does such a thing exist?

Question for the Gurus out there. About keyboards.
 
I use Energy XT in Sonar and don't have to use anything in the..uh..."R" ...word...
 
Layering multiple series synths to get killer sounds. This day and age, intelligent selection and sequencing of freeware vsti's can blow the megabux professional gear out of the water.
 
One downside I'm running into though and don't know if there is a quick fix.
 
Say you got 5 string synths in a chain, all balanced and panned, effects in the right place. You are still at the mercy of the ADSR envelope of each synth or sample.
 
Is there an ASDR plug that can be inserted at the end of a chain that can globally control the attack sustain recay and release of a chain. Would be triggered by the audio output of the series.
 
Thanks in advance and best to all of you..John

You can just use a synth that can be configured as FX for this. For instance if you insert z3ta+_fx2 in the effect bin (choose Soft Synths instead of Audio FX in the FX bin of your audio track to insert it), route a midi track to it (to trigger the envelope) and turn off all its oscillators, you can use its ADSR on any audio track (as well as its filters and effects).

Drew, still trying to decipher what you said but looks like good advice for a single instrument. 

The idea is that some synths allow you to run them as effects programs, which basically means they have an audio input available for processing external audio. So if you load them into the FX bin on an audio track (or buss) you can use them to process whatever is on that audio track (or buss).
