For starters, there's no point in trying to equate PEG numbers with Pitch Intervals
I did try to do this, and table results for some kind of metric formula. But, it's hard, and the interplay between Depth and Level values is perplexing.
That leaves you with basic experimentation and just using your ears.
The first thing I noticed from your screenshots is the Envelope "picture" is wrong.
You need to set 0 Attack Time and make Attack Level Positive, with the Decay portions taking you down to the Keyed Pitch, which will be Level 0 << -- This is at least known and accurate.
Otherwise the PEG Profile is looking correct.
Then by adjusting Attack Level and PEG Depth you need to tune in the Attack Initial Level to be approximately a 5th (or whatever the interval is) above the played note. This is done by using your ears and trial and error.
So you need to be playing the "Final Pitch" on the Keyboard, not the instantaneous initial Pitch.
Suggest you start with PEG Depth of 32 (2×16, 4×8.... divisions of MIDI 128), then adjust Attack Level.
What you are aiming for is "fine tuning control" of Attack Level. If PEG Depth = 32 is giving massive swings of Pitch Attack Level, drop PEG Depth by half to 16, and try again. PEG Depth is a Multiplier. The lower the value, the more fine control you have in Attack Level (and other Envelope Levels for future reference).
