This module possesses two functions. The first generates an envelope from the audio signal
connected to “Follower in”. The “Time” setting determines the detail for the envelope follower.
The lower the value, the more the input signal variations will be respected. This setting relies
on the “Time Choice” which can be “short” or “long”. In the first case, the analysis of the input
signal will be very precise, generating a signal with fast variation. The calculation power
required is thus heavier than the second position, where the output signal will have slow
variation.
This module also allows you to generate a trigger signal. The triggering is calculated in relation
to a certain threshold set with the “Threshold” dial and the signal connected to the
“Comparator in”. If no signal is connected to this input, an internal connection will link the
follow output to the comparator.
This module generates two types of trigger, a positive trigger, and a negative. When the
comparator input signal exceeds the threshold, the positive trigger is activated, while the
negative trigger is cancelled. When the input signal goes below the threshold, the opposite
happens. A lighting indicator allows the observation of the positive trigger signal.
