FOLLOW

An envelope follower: turns AUDIO into CV by tracking how loud it is. This is the only path from the audio domain back into the control domain. FOLLOW → an inverting ATT → a VCA is ducking / sidechain.

The FOLLOW card as vimsynth draws it: its title bar, 3 knobs, 1 inputs down the left edge and 1 outputs down the right
FOLLOW on an empty rack — 32×11 cells, knobs at their defaults. Press a in the app and pick FOLLOW to get this card.

inputs

Down the left edge of the card, top to bottom.

inaudio
The audio to listen to. Its LOUDNESS comes out as a CV.

outputs

Down the right edge, in the same order.

envcv
How loud the input is, as a CV. The one bridge from audio back to control.

knobs

Left to right across the face — the dials in the picture.

rise0 … 1 s= 0.005 s
How fast it rises. Fast enough to catch a transient.
fall0.001 … 5 s= 0.2 s
How slowly it falls. Slow enough that the output is a contour and not a buzzing copy of the waveform.
gain0 … 8= 1
Gain on the input before it is measured.
