// SIMPLE ENVELOPE FOLLOWER, by P. Cook/*Hi all. I keep meaning to post to this list about the under-exploitedfeature that all unit generators have, in that you can cause their inputsto multiply rather than add. As an example, here's a simple powerenvelope follower that doesn't require sample-level chuck intervention. Again UG is used to square the incoming A/D signal (try it on your built-inmic), then a OnePole UG is used as a "leaky integrator" to keep a runningestimate of the signal power. The main loop wakes up each 100 ms andchecks the power, and prints out a message if it's over a certain level.
