To make things more interesting, Live included a Sidechain feature that filters a signal based on the envelope of another signal. Lower Release values cause the envelope to respond more quickly to falling input signals while higher values extend the envelope’s decay. For example, low Attack values cause the filter to open or close quickly, while higher Attack values respond more gradually. The Amount control adjusts how quickly the envelope reacts to the incoming signal and the Attack control sets how quickly the envelope returns to its original value. Neurologix introduces you to Auto Filters Envelope section controls and demonstrates how the envelope modulation affects the filter frequency. In addition, the envelope follower feature can track either the filtered input signal or an external sidechain source.

The filter frequency can also be modulated by an envelope follower and/or an LFO to create moving filter effects.
