Wish "Return to zero" on pitch follower?

This may not be feasible, but...

When using the pitch follower as a controller, it acts a little funky when you silence the strings. I believe it is cueing off the noise/interference coming from the guitar, because when you shut the volume off on the guitar, it DOES return to zero. Otherwise, it often climbs to the maximum setting, cueing off the noise. That makes for a less than graceful transition of whatever you're controlling.

So I guess the wish is that we could have better control over that threshold, or if the pitch input is pre-noise gate, that it would tap in after the noise gate instead.
 
Adjustable threshold and (optional) resting value sounds nice.

For a more reliable version of the current "hold last detected pitch" system, another useful thing would be a way to delay the detector value output (maybe 50-100 ms) then hold the current output value when level falls below the threshold (and for the chosen delay time after exceeding threshold again, before resuming the delayed "good" pitch information output). Sometimes immediate response is best but this could be good for things like delay/reverb mix.
