Envelope Follower Block
Envelope Follower is a function for detecting the envelope of the input signal waveform and modifying
sounds dynamically. This function allows you to control not only Part outputs but also input signals from
external devices connected to the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks.
The Input source of each Envelope Follower is fixed such as Part 1 for EnvFollower 1, Part 2 for
EnvFollower 2, and the Audio Part for EnvFollower AD. However, the signal output from each Envelope
Follower can be another “input source” for any desired destination such as each Part or even the entire
Performance. For example, you can modify the sound of Part 2 by using the Envelope Follower for Part 1
(EnvFollower 1) as the “Source.” The Envelope Follower as the “Source” and the target parameter to be
controlled by the Envelope Follower (which is called “Destination”) are set in the Control Assign display
(page 89).
