OK, now for a verbal explanation of what this expression does. A six second ramp is triggered whenever
both inputTrigger and (1 - !TimeLeft asLogicValue) are greater than zero. This only happens
when the amplitude envelope exceeds the threshold and the ramp has not been triggered within the last
six seconds. The actual output (and the value of !TimeLeft which gets fed back into this expression) is
one minus the ramp function. So !TimeLeft goes from 1 down to 0 over the course of six seconds. And
it cannot be triggered again until two conditions are met: one condition is that the ramp has had a chance
to get to 0, and the other is that the amplitude of the input exceeds the threshold amplitude.
