regular notes, are shown with a T in the display. “1/16T” represents a duration equal to 2/3 that of a sixteenth
note.
If LFO 2’s Reset switch is turned on, the second LFO always resets to the beginning of its cycle when the first
LFO starts its cycle. This switch has no effect if the Sync switch is turned on.
Envelope Follower
The envelope follower generates a modulation signal by measuring the amplitude (or loudness) of the signal
arriving at the plug-in’s inputs. The envelope follower always measures the two input signals added together,
regardless of any connections made in the signal matrix.
The envelope follower has three controls which determine how it responds to the incoming signal:
The Sensitivity slider (labeled S ) adjusts the envelope follower’s
overall sensitivity to the input signal. Essentially it acts like a gain
control for the envelope follower. If the modulation signal
generated by the envelope follower is too weak, raise the
Sensitivity slider.
The Attack slider (labeled A ) adjusts how quickly the envelope follower responds to increases in the incoming
signal’s level. If the Attack slider is at the left of its range, the envelope follower’s output jumps almost
instantly in response to increases in the input signal’s level. As you move the Attack slider to the right, the
envelope follower reacts more slowly to signal-level increases. The Attack slider is useful for making the
envelope follower’s output smoother when the input signal contains sharp transients, such as drum sounds.
The Decay slider (labeled D ) adjusts how quickly the envelope follower’s output decreases as the incoming
signal’s level decreases. If the Decay slider is at the left of its range, the envelope follower’s output drops
almost immediately when the input signal’s level decreases. As you move the Decay slider to the right, the
envelope follower reacts more slowly to signal-level decreases. The Decay slider is useful for stretching the
envelope follower’s output, making it fade away more slowly than the input signal.
Note that unlike the LFOs, the envelope follower’s output is not bipolar. Its output is never less than zero, so it
always acts to increase the parameters that it modulates.
