Official effect
Reactive envelope low-pass sweep that currently uses the same detector-driven core as Auto Wah.
The current implementation matches Auto Wah exactly: a smoothed absolute-value detector drives the center frequency of a resonant low-pass filter, then a post-filter high shelf shapes the result. It already reacts to input level, but it is not yet differentiated into a separate envelope-filter voicing.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.
How It Works
The current implementation matches Auto Wah exactly: a smoothed absolute-value detector drives the center frequency of a resonant low-pass filter, then a post-filter high shelf shapes the result. It already reacts to input level, but it is not yet differentiated into a separate envelope-filter voicing.
Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay and slight left/right shelf-EQ offsets before it hits the filter core.

Envelope-following resonant low-pass filter with post-filter high-shelf tone shaping.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Blends the untouched stereo preview source with the filtered path after the effect core.
Lower settings preserve more dry attack and full-band tone; higher settings emphasize the filter treatment.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the filter behavior itself.
Sets the base center of the resonant low-pass filter and the post-filter high shelf.
Moves the filter lower or higher and changes how open the result sounds.
Scales the envelope-driven sweep depth and the filter resonance.
Makes the response more reactive and more pronounced with stronger sweeps on louder notes.
Declared in the shared control set but unused in the current preview code.
Changing it currently has no effect on the sound.
Analysis
Current implementation shares the same envelope-following resonant low-pass core as Auto Wah and Touch Wah, and the shared rate control is inactive.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
