I have no idea, since I'm on a Mac and cannot read FPE files.

Also, I think Stooge Moe drew up an MOTM panel for a wogglebug, bitd.
You might want to ask him about it.

More also, while I'm typing, are there any panels for an envelope
follower?? I'm looking for somethimng simple. While I can use the
rectifier wavetable in my mini-wave, and run that output through an
MOTM-820, I would rather not tie up two awesome modules for such a
basic function. I also added an env out to my modded time machine,
but it's not adjustable, and ties up the TM.

An inverting voltage follower uses the inverting input and negative feedback.

While, afaik, an ideal op-amp without feedback or any noise at its
inputs should act like a comparator. Since that situation does not
exist in reality, positive feedback is added. If a resistor is
added, a voltage divider creates two threshold voltages, resulting in
hysteresis.

Thanks :)
