It's obviously the envelope follower from the modulators put into a module form and it essentially turns an audio signal into a sort of control signal, but you can't do anything with that information (you'd be better of just using a follower modulator) and it makes the audio signal obviously sound nasty so I presume it's not for use as an audio effect... so what's the purpose?
I'm guessing it's intended to be used to split off a section of the audio and use that as a control signal (e.g. use a crossover to split the signal and then use the follower fx on just one of the bands to apply follower modulation to only what is happening to that band), but I'm not clear on how that's achieved at the moment.
Thanks!
What's the intended purpose of the new Follower FX in MXXX?

You can use it as a control signal with any other module that has a side chain input.

Ah, that makes more sense.
I haven't found a need for this yet and can't think of any solid use cases, which is why it hadn't occurred to me... but i can see how it could be useful. Thanks
