Peak Follower

Peak Follower module

The Peak Follower outputs a control voltage that tracks the level (amplitude envelope) of the input signal. Useful for envelope following, ducking, and dynamics processing.

  • The Peak Follower is frequency-dependent: it responds slower to low frequencies and faster to high frequencies
  • For consistent tracking across the frequency range, use longer attack and decay times
  • Multiply the control voltage by 20 to get the time in milliseconds (1V = 20 ms)
