Using The Envelope Follower - Yamaha MONTAGE M6 Operation Manual

Using the Envelope Follower

Envelope Follower is the function that extracts the envelope of the waveform from the audio
input and is used as a controller for creating changes in the sound. It allows the output of Parts
and the output from the external device connected to the A/D INPUT jack.
For example, you can set the Envelope Follower of the Part you have assigned a Rhythm
Pattern as a Source to create changes in other Parts. It is useful, for example, when you wish to
lower the volume of a Part while a certain other Part is being played (i.e., ducking).
Each Envelope Follower has its own input source, such as EnvFollow 1 for Part 1, EnvFollow 2
for Part 2, and EnvFollow AD for the Audio Part. The output from each Envelope Follower can
be changed by selecting a different Source from the Control Assign screen.
For example, you can set up the Envelope Follower for Part 1 (EnvFollow 1) to create changes
in Part 2. How the sound is modified by the output from each Envelope follower can be set from
the Control Assign screen.
