Subject: RE: [motm] Using a Lag an an Envelope Follower -- Not Quite

From: "Tkacs, Ken" <ken.tkacs@...>

Maybe if the existing integrator portion was tweaked, it could offer some
lag; I'm not sure if it could do that without attenuating the signal too
much? Experimentation would be needed, I suspect.

I like the idea of the hysteresis controls. I would suggest that, if such
circuitry were to be added to an envelope follower, that a "direct input"
also be provided so that this hysteresis/gating section could be used
generally, not just by an envelope-followed audio source. I'm a huge fan of
gate delays, and strangely they aren't that common at all on synthesizers. I
don't even know if a VC gate delay has ever been made, but what a way to
animate---in a controlled way---every note in a phrase.

So, if some limited lag processing could be implemented on board the EF
itself, it could save an 820 to be used elsewhere (or for more exotic EF
patches).
