For what it is worth, some synths employ a lowest

oldest and strange voice stealing effects can be heard (we have all heard
it). This is of course based pon and tied to an output envelope generator of
some type. Stealing the softest signal is much less noticable but much
harder to implement.
Its not just fed off the envelope generator, its much more complex than
that I think (I referred to it earlier), that technique cant really be
used in modular systems as you have no way of predicting what the
behaviour of the voice is, or what the user is using the envelope modules
for.
