• FLW (Follow)
The envelope follows the amplitude of the input signal when it is above the threshold level.

ATK In Follow (FLW) mode, this is the rise time of the envelope follower, i.e. how quickly the follower
rises when the amplitude of the audio increases. In generator mode (AD or AR), this is the attack time
of the generated envelope. The rise time of the underlying envelope follower is set to fastest possible
rise time in these configurations.
REL In Follow (FLW) mode, this is the fall time of the envelope follower, i.e. how quickly the follower
falls when the amplitude of the audio falls. In generator mode (AD or AR), this is the decay- or release
time of the generated envelope. The fall time of the underlying envelope follower is set to a good,
predefined fall time in these configurations.
TRIG Sets the threshold level for when the envelope follower triggers the envelope generator and LFO.
Press [YES] + [MOD] to trigger the envelope generator manually. You can also send a
gate signal to the Analog Heat +FX Control In inputs to trigger the envelope generator. For
more information, please see “6.4 CONTROL IN” on page 18.
7.4.2 ENV PAGE 2
The envelope has three modulation destinations.
1. The first destination is set using the parameter DEST1 . DEPTH1 controls the amount of envelope
modulation sent to the chosen destination. The first destination can also be set in the MATRIX pa-
rameter page. Select ENV 1ST as a source and then select modulation destination and modulation
depth. For more information, please see “7.4.9 MATRIX” on page 36.
2. The second destination is set in the MATRIX parameter page. Select ENV 2ND as a source and
then select modulation destination and modulation depth.
3. The third modulation destination is permanently set to the FREQ parameter of the analog filter in
the Heat FX block. The parameter ENV on the FILTER/EQ PAGE 1 parameter page controls the
amount of envelope modulation added to the filter cutoff.
The envelope follower uses a filter to define the frequency span of the input signal that the envelope
follower reacts to. This span is defined by the BASE and WIDTH parameters.
