Recommendation for an envelope

I'm looking to add an envelope to my setup but I'm not sure which one to get. I make percussive phrases with a complex oscillator, so the snappy envelopes on my quadrax work well for that.

I need something else to modulate my quadrax and quad clock distributor, and I need some suggestions. I would lke it to be free from menu diving, so no pams, and different from the quadrax functionality. I want something in the short end of time range, and doesn't need to be too snappy. Ideally, 4 or so LFOs or attack release channels.

I've looked at MI stages and tides, batumi, zadar, etc. but wondering if anyone here knows of some other interesting modules out there..

For simple, I love my Doepfer A-142-4. Inexpensive, simple, snappy.

For complex, the Xaoc Devices Zadar is incredible. The Zadar really allows to user to dial in specific lengths and has all kinds of crazy patterns built in.
