Multi-Envelope Mod by Riccardo Sellan
THREE BANDS. THREE ENVELOPES. INFINITE CONTROL.
Multi-Envelope Mod splits your audio into up to three frequency bands, then follows their amplitude with independent envelope followers. Each band can be mapped to separate parameters, creating precise and reactive modulation paths for sound design and AV setups.
Use it to isolate and modulate from kicks, snares, hi-hats — or to drive external systems with nuanced data via OSC.
- Split audio into two or three adjustable bands
- Independent envelope followers with gain, rise, fall, and hold
- Map each band to different parameters or OSC addresses
- Spectral visual feedback with headphone monitoring

Multi-Envelope Mod by Riccardo Sellan
Precision Spectral Control
Multi-Envelope Mod splits your audio into up to three frequency bands using FFT-based analysis, giving you sharp, surgical boundaries between each zone. Each band functions as an independent envelope follower, tracking amplitude in real time and converting it into expressive modulation data. This makes it the ideal tool for isolating and reacting to specific elements in your mix—kicks, snares, hi-hats, bass fundamentals, or harmonic overtones.
Independent Envelope Followers
Every frequency band comes with its own set of controls: adjustable gain, rise and fall smoothing, threshold detection, and momentary hold. You can dial in tight, reactive responses or smooth, flowing modulation curves. The visual spectrum display provides instant feedback, showing amplitude activity across all active bands, while the headphone monitoring feature lets you solo and audition each band to fine-tune your split points with surgical precision.
Versatile Mapping Architecture
The Multi-Map panel allows you to route each band’s envelope to different parameters simultaneously. Map the low band to a filter cutoff, the mid band to reverb send, and the high band to panning—all from a single audio source. Choose between modulation mode (where base values remain adjustable) or remote control mode (for absolute parameter takeover). You can also send all three bands via OSC to external applications for audio-reactive visuals, lighting control, or generative systems.
Built for Reactive Workflows
Multi-Envelope Mod excels in scenarios where you need nuanced, multi-dimensional control from a single input. Use it for creative sidechain effects that respond to specific frequency zones, audio-reactive performance setups, or driving complex visual systems where different spectral ranges control different parameters. The FFT algorithm ensures clean separation between bands, making it perfect for detailed sound design and live performance applications.
Inside you’ll find:
- Two or three adjustable frequency bands – Split audio with precise crossover control using FFT analysis
- Independent envelope followers – Each band tracks amplitude with dedicated gain, rise, fall, and hold controls
- Threshold detection per band – Set dB thresholds to gate modulation and prevent noise triggering
- Visual spectral feedback – Real-time display shows amplitude activity across all bands
- Headphone monitoring – Solo individual bands to fine-tune split frequencies
- Six mapping slots per band – Map to Live parameters or send via OSC
- Modulation and remote control modes – Choose between additive modulation or absolute control
- Bipolar/Unipolar output – Center modulation around base values or add to them
- Band selector for quick editing – Click bands visually or use dropdown menu
- Sidechain input – Analyze audio from any track in your Live set
- Sharp FFT-based crossovers – Clean frequency separation for precise control
Multi-Envelope Mod is designed for producers who need multi-dimensional control from spectral content, sound designers crafting reactive effects systems, and performers building audio-visual setups where different frequency zones drive different elements.

Important Information
V1.0.1 – Released March 2026
CPU consumption optimization
Initial Release – August 2025
Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
