Triggering the file_player node

[southfieldsound]

Hello all,

I am attempting to build a drum trigger VST effect plugin inside HISE. As of now, I am using the file_player node and want to trigger it to only play when incoming audio exceeds a certain threshold. I originally thought to use a dynamics.envelope_follower to analyze the incoming signal and then use it to modulate the file_player's "gate" parameter, but this doesn't work as intended.

Any suggestions for how to trigger the file_player only when incoming audio reaches the threshold?
