Envelope Follower is a function that extracts the envelope (amplitude envelope) of the waveform from input signals, and then lets you use that envelope as a controller for modifying sounds. For example, by assigning a Rhythm Pattern to a Part and setting the Envelope Follower of the Part as a “Source,” the sound of the other Parts is modified accordingly. This is especially useful for automatic “ducking,” where you want to lower the volume of other instruments while a certain instrument sound you want to emphasize is being played.
The Envelope Follower screen appears.
Here, you can play the keyboard to hear the sound with the Envelope Follower enabled.
Here, in this example, set the Polarity to Bi, the Ratio to −63, and the Gain to −12dB.
For more detailed adjustments, tap the Edit button on the screen to open the Envelope Follower setting screen.
When you wish to change the Rhythm Pattern kit or Arpeggio type, press the [SHIFT] button + [SONG/PATTERN] button to go back to the Rhythm Pattern screen. The Envelope Follower settings are retained even after the kit or the Arpeggio type has been changed.
