### Overview

The **Follower** modulator is an envelope follower that converts the plugin’s input signal into a smoothable modulation source, letting you apply dynamic movement anywhere in your preset. Use it to make parameters react to your input level for organic results.

### 1. Follower Controls&#x20;

**Attack Time.** Sets how long it takes the envelope follower to rise to the input’s level.

**Release Time.** Sets how long it takes the envelope follower to fall when the input gets quieter.

**Sync.** Enables BPM sync for the follower’s attack and release.

**Gain.** Attenuates the follower’s output. This affects any parameter it modulates.
