#N canvas 66 7 617 909 12; #X text 164 5 ENVELOPE FOLLOWERS; #X text 10 25 The env~ object reports ths RMS signal level over the last 256 samples (by default) or any other power of 2 that's at least twice the block size. The analysis is done in an overlapped fashion so that results appear every N/2 points if N is the analysis window size. So the larger the window \, the stabler the result and the less frequently it appears. Computation time doesn't depend heavily on N. ; #X text 11 135 Envelope followers are frequently used to detect attacks and periods of silence. (There are fancier attack detectors out there \, though.) Here is a simple threshold-based attack and rest detector. ; #X obj 102 297 dbtorms; #X obj 23 293 osc~ 440; #X obj 23 339 env~; #X floatatom 78 329 0 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 102 274 0 0 0 0 - - -; #X msg 451 320 \; pd dsp 1; #X obj 119 380 t b f; #X floatatom 119 403 0 0 0 0 - - -; #X obj 126 458 pack; #X obj 126 481 route 0 1; #X obj 126 504 > 55; #X obj 176 504 < 45; #X obj 126 527 sel 1; #X obj 176 527 sel 1; #X msg 90 538 1; #X msg 90 516 0; #X obj 126 564 print attack; #X obj 119 435 != 0; #X obj 24 612 t b f; #X floatatom 15 638 0 0 0 0 - - -; #X obj 27 688 pack; #X obj 27 711 route 0 1; #X obj 27 749 sel 1; #X msg 6 856 1; #X msg 7 879 0; #X obj 20 666 != 0; #X obj 58 639 < 45; #X obj 31 783 timer; #X obj 113 712 sel 0; #X obj 95 832 sel 0; #X obj 45 832 sel 1; #X obj 45 873 print rest; #X obj 31 806 > 1000; #X text 162 403 state -- 1 if waiting for low threshold \,; #X text 199 418 0 if we've attained it and now want the; #X text 202 434 high one.; #X text 209 480 route the RMS value according to state; #X text 239 506 if off \, 55 dB means attack.
