MOTM

Since the announcement of the triple pre amp to boost instrument levels
to MOTM voltages, has there been any discussion of a peak audio level ->
voltage trigger module to produce a trigger any time an audio level
exceeds a certain level. I have an Alesis 3630 compessor/gate, I'd like
to find a way to produce a voltage trigger from an adjustable audio
level. Something with a threshold and gate time adjustment would be very
useful to trigger filter sweeps and VCA curves from an incoming audio
signal. (i.e. strumming a guitar harder or "popping" a bass string would
cause a gate to trigger for an amount of time set by the gate time pot)

Oops, I should have noted I was looking for something similar to the
noise gate on the 3630 not a way to integrate it into my MOTM system.

This is called an "Envelope Follower" in general. I just got sample chips
Friday
for testing for the super whiz-bang MOTM version. Stay tuned, and ditch that
awful 3630
for a nice RNC compressor.
