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.
