Parameter of the effects menu

The envelope follower generates a 
modulation signal from an audio 
signal. This modulation signal can 
be used to control sound parame-
ters. When the envelope follower is 
activated, it takes the place of the 
filter envelope. This means that 
you can modulate the filters using 
the ENV AMOUNT knob in the filter 
section. The envelope follower is 
also available as a modulation 
source in the ASSIGN section in the 
form of the option called ”FiltEnv”.

MODE Activates the envelope fol-
lower. Set to the OFF position, the 
envelope follower is inactive and 
the filter envelope works in the 
usual manner.

The remaining settings for FOL-
LOWER mode let you activate the 
envelope follower and, at the same 
time, choose a signal source. Select 
signal sources the same way you 
would for INPUT SELECT (see 
above). Note that this selection 
option is completely independent 
of the given input.

When you select a stereo signal 
and at the same time activate UNI-
SON mode (Twin), the envelope 
follower operates in real stereo.

Three filter envelope knobs are 
used to control the envelope fol-
lower when it is active:

Envelope Follower Attack (Knob: 
FILTER

 ATTACK) It controls the 

attack rate of the envelope fol-
lower. With this parameter, you 
can determine how fast the enve-
lope follower will respond to the 
rise in signal level. Higher values 
slow the envelope follower down 
and delay its response.

Envelope Follower Release (Knob: 
FILTER

 DECAY) It controls the decay 

time of the envelope follower. 
With this parameter, you can 
determine how swiftly the enve-
lope follower will respond to a 
decrease in signal level. Higher val-
ues let the Follower linger.
