Enveloper
The Enveloper is an unusual processor that lets you shape the attack and release phases
of a signal—the signal’s transients, in other words. This makes it a unique tool that can
be used to achieve results that differ from other dynamic processors.
Threshold slider and field: Sets the threshold level. Signals that exceed the threshold
have their attack and release phase levels altered.
(Attack) Gain slider and field: Boosts or attenuates the attack phase of the signal. When
the Gain slider is set to the center position—0%—the signal is unaffected.
Lookahead slider and field: Sets the pre-read analysis time for the incoming signal. This
enables the Enveloper to know in advance what signals are coming, enabling accurate
and fast processing.
(Attack) Time knob and field: Determines the amount of time it takes for the signal to
increase from the threshold level to the maximum Gain level.
Display: Shows the attack and release curves applied to the signal.
(Release) Time knob and field: Determines the amount of time it takes for the signal to
fall from the maximum gain level to the threshold level.
(Release) Gain slider and field: Boosts or attenuates the release phase of the signal. When
the Gain slider is set to the center position—0%—the signal is unaffected.
Out Level slider and field: Sets the level of the output signal.
Using the Enveloper
The most important parameters of the Enveloper are the two Gain sliders, one on each
side of the central display. These govern the Attack and Release levels of each respective
phase.
