9753 Envelope Follower

Envelope Follower

Audio or control signals input to the 9753 module are converted to 'envelopes' relative to the amplitude and triggers, Gate (step) or Pulse. The Envelope output is a CV that follows the dynamics of the input signal. The Gate-trigger occurs for the duration of the input signal. The Pulse-trigger occurs at the onset of the input signal. A Sensitivity control matches the signal source to the envelope and triggering range. This module is used with Guitars or Microphones, or other pick-ups and sensors (through 9754 Preamplifier module if necessary) to interface with a modular synthesizer, as sources for triggers and control of waveform dynamics. A thru-connector is provided so that audio from the sensed source can be split or tapped at the module for processing through other modules such as VCFs or VCAs.
