Hey there! New user of the page here, first post and first patch ever...
I just patched the palette case the way I use it for using my vocal microphone and various external keyboards / synths or a bass guitar / acoustic guitar via eurorack, mainly in order to process it via mimeophon, clouds and my eventide h9 (connected via the pedal i/o module).

The Neo Trinity is there obviusly for modulation of the mimeophon and clouds. I patch it via the attenuator cables from Koma Elektronik since I don't have an attenuator nor does the module provide a way to module the voltage of it's signal.

I was wondering if you had any ideas to use the envelope follower capabilities of the Befaco's Instrument Interface. I don't seem to fully understand the possibilities of that section of the module in this case.

Any help will be appreciated!

Deloreak.

Hello and welcome.
An envelope follower is useful for getting a CV source from an audio input. Say you plug a guitar into your Instrument Interface, every time you pluck a string an envelope is generated, either positive or negative. You might want to use that negative envelope to lower the wet/dry of your effects so you can hear each note clearly followed by a blooming reverb or something. I often use the negative envelope generated by a kick drum to "duck" my bassline so the bass remains a little clearer. Or maybe you want to get an auto-wah effect by using the positive envelope to open a filter that your guitar is going into. Those are a few uses of an envelope follower.
Have fun!
