The spec says: "Generators at the Preset Level are instead considered “relative” and additive to all the default or instrument level generators within the Preset Zone." Both instruments set modEnvAttack and modEnvRelease to 100 ms. The preset generator of e.g. Polysynth2 sets them to approx. 70 for attack and approx. 50 for release. This makes an attack of 100 ms * 70 = 7 sec and release of 100 ms * 50 = 5 sec. The modulation in this case affects the filters cut-off freqency. Thus it needs 7 seconds for the filter to fully open. This is pretty much what I hear. Dont know about the 1.5 sec you refer to. Note however that what you hear is strictly speaking not correct. fluidsynth currently processes the modEnvAttack in a linear way. According to the spec (8.1.2 #26) it should however be convex.
