4.3 Follower
The Follower (envelope follower) produces a modulation signal by reacting
to the amplitude of the audio input signal with specified attack and decay
envelope characteristics.
HPF
Activating the HPF button enables a high-pass filter on the input signal
prior to the Follower's peak detection. The filter is applied whether using
the main input or the Follower Override input. The HPF function is enabled
by default.
Atk (Attack)
This control sets the Attack time of the envelope generated in response
to a new detected transient.
Dcy (Decay)
This control sets the Decay time of the generated envelope.
Lvl (Level)
The Level control allows you to attenuate the level of the signal entering the envelope follower
transient detection circuit. At 100%, no attenuation is applied on the signal.
Gain [ w /Tra n sM od a m ou n t]
The Gain control offers a final attenuation control for the output of the module before it enters the
TransMod modulation system. At 100%, no attenuation is applied to the output modulation signal.
This control is intended to be modulated by other TransMod sources for dynamic, evolving
modulation effects.
Follower connections
Follower Override input
By default, the Follower reacts to the main
audio input signal.
By connecting the Follower Override input
on Etch Red's rear panel, you can make the
Follower react to a signal from a suitable
audio source elsewhere within Reason
instead.
Follower output
The Follower output provides the output
from the Follower modulator so that it can
be used to modulate parameters in other
Reason devices.
