Audio transient to boolean for triggering envelopes?

#1

i may well have missed something really obvious but i am failing to work this out.

i want to use an incoming audio signal to trigger an envelope.

is there an object that can read the transient and output a boolean to send to the envelope object?

#2

I'm not sure if this is a good hypothesis, but if transient can be viewed as a pulse, you can use envelope follower object and ">" object to set a threshold on the input signal.

Ah ha. That makes sense. Thank you.

Not near the axoloti right now so I can't test but will check later and report back.

I had to add a multiplier in between the dial and the math/> in order to scale it to between 0 & 5 but it works.

Happy days, this has enabled big steps forward in my current patch.
