what is the use of this module?

"The Envelope Follower outputs an envelope based on the levels of an incoming audio signal. It is possible to control both the input and output gain of the signal. "

quote from ben walker's "modular corner" site.

for example you can send a drum pattern or any other sound to capture its amplitude evolution and output an envelope to gate another sound according to the first.

this is the link for a very simple mod2 patch called "expressor" that does exactly this. i use it as a breath control for winded sounds lixe harmonica, sax etc.
instead of air, i use voice.
but you can use any other sound.
it's a very little patch, and is a perfect tutorial for the envelope follower.

ciao bosi...
