AGCAttackReleaseFract32

Overview

Multi-channel envelope detector in Fract32 with programmable attack and release times

Discussion

Envelope detector used in dynamics processor. The module accepts an N-channel buffer of amplitude and produces an output buffer the same size as the input. An envelope detector is applied to the input that has programmable attack and release times. The attack time applies when the current input value is larger than the state of the envelope detector. Similarly, the release time applies when the current input value is smaller than the state of the envelope detector.
