I am not sure what one is supposed to get out of env.last()...   
however, I was able to use Envelope with large target values, like this:

sinosc osc => dac;
Envelope env => blackhole;
240.0 => float BPM;
60.0 / BPM => float BeatSeconds;
0.0 => env.value;
while(true) {
     std.rand2f(200.0, 800.0) => env.target;
     std.fabs(env.target()-env.value()) / (BeatSeconds * second/ 
samp)  => env.rate;
     while(env.value() != env.target()) {
         env.value()  => osc.freq;
         5::ms => now;
     }
     BeatSeconds::second => now;
}
