    Does the secondary ‘speed mod’ do anything?  It’s not modulating the sensitivity, is it??

    In that case, Speed Mod doesn’t appear to do anything (Envelope as primary).  Depth Mod & Mod Rate add more of a parallel modulation to the primary ENV, rather than directly modulating its Sensitivity.  Not sure exactly how it’s all routed internally, but that’s what I hear.  The same can be said for primary ENV + secondary ENV.  Depth Mod and Speed Mod are inactive.  Not the most useful combination, but it doesn’t stop me from trying.

    These modulations all add up (or multiply together).  In any Shape+Mod Source scenario, balancing Depth & Depth Mod levels is key.  For many combinations, also Speed & Speed Mod mixing.

    The various ENV / ADSR combinations still tend to stall me in my tracks.  My rough rule of thumb: primary Envelope + secondary waveforms, for fixed rate modulation alongside an envelope.  Primary waveforms + secondary Envelope, for ramping the rates.  I revisit Primary Envelope/ADSR + secondary Envelope/ADSR on rare occasions.  Usually ending up with Manual substituting for one of them.
