which combination of envelope modulations for best punch?

I want to generate the best punch for a percussion intrument. I have experimented with short envelope modulations of pitch, filter with short resonance, fm and other effects. also a simple volume envelope modulation generates a punch. All these envelopes must be short. But my question is which combination of these envelope modulations makes the best punch? There are many many combinations which are possible, especially with different amounts in percentage, so which is the best for the best punch?

Thanks for your efforts!

Your question is ridiculous.

Could you explain me why it is ridiculous? Because you know it but you dont want to tell it to me?

There are infinite variables here.

You may as well ask "how do I create this sound"?
What sound? I dont know yet.

I like a little laziness in this area.

Whether its a kick or a hihat or a stick you are working with, those will give you punch without having to edit ms envelopes.

Maybe a clipped envelope? If no punchmode available maybe a Hold option after the attack stage will yield similar results.

Some synths allow you to modulate envelope decay using the envelope itself. Increasing the level of this modulation can lead to some painfully snappy envelopes...
