Envelope Follower

The Envelope Follower uses an audio signal to modulate parameters for each entity that is connected to it via a Modulator Link. The Envelope Follower receives its audio signal from one or more Mics via Delay Lines.

Envelope Follower Properties#

• Mode: The type of Modulator being used. Each type has its own parameters and effects.
• Delay: The duration for which the input signal will be delayed before driving the Envelope Follower. This is useful for time-aligning the follower's output with other audio paths.
• Attack: The approximate amount of time for the Envelope Follower's output to increase to match an input signal if the input signal stays the same for long enough.
• Release: The approximate amount of time it takes the Envelope Follower's output to decrease to match an input signal if the input signal stays the same for long enough. Note that for most use cases, this should be longer than the attack time, or else the Envelope Follower will only produce extremely transient output signals. On the other hand, extremely short attack or release may be useful for frequency modulation techniques (or similar).
