I need to mic a player who will play either tiny, soft sounds (extended

the instrument sound with pd generated material BUT I want to amplify the soft sounds while only mixing a little bit of the normal sounds. Is there some clever way of making pd 'identify' the incoming sound and
boost the signal when the input is the soft ones only?
You need a compressor with a so called side-chain. The RjDj library has two: e_compress.pd and e_dynproc.pd at: http://trac.rjdj.me/browser/trunk/rjlib/rj/ (e_dynproc can also be used as a noisegate, which is an kind of inverse compressor)
Feed the signal to control into the left and the controlling signal into the middle inlet~.
