Its important to remember, that the receiving module decides how the two 
triggers, which form a gate, are used.

For your percussive sound you need a dedicated AD-Envelope like the 
Maths or the Intellijel QuADra or the A-143. Those start their envelope 
and let it run until the end - no matter whether they receive the end of 
the gate before the end of the envelope or not.

If you have a classical ADSR-envelope like the Doepfer A-140, it will 
always stop after the end of the gate. That means if the sum of the 
attack and decay time is longer than the gate duration, the decay will 
be interrupted (at least if you did not set a release identical to the 
decay time).
