It produces a signal that +goes from an initial to target value over a specified number of milliseconds. +However \, it produces non-linear ramps using a piecewise approximation +of an exponential function. You specify the parameter to this exponential +function in the curve~ object's right inlet. Values from 0 to 1 produce +an "exponential" curve when increasing in value and values from -1 +to 0 produce a "logarithmic" curve. The closer to 0 the curve parameter +is \, the closer the curve is to a straight line \, and the farther +away the parameter is from 0 \, the steeper the curve. curve~ can also +accept a list of up two or three arguments (the previous curve parameter +is used if there are two arguments) \, or a list with two or more value +\, time \, parameter triples. curve~ is limited to 42 such triples +in a single list. The object's approximation of the exponential becomes +better when the vector size is smaller \, but the object also becomes +more computationally expensive.; +#X text 194 226 optional arguments set initial value (default 0) and +parameter (default 0); +#X text 580 259 value; +#X text 582 295 curve signal out; +#X text 740 290 bang when done; +#X text 210 286 curve output; +#X text 18 485 Special thanks to Richard Dudas for the suggestion of +a curve equation to use.; +#X text 1 165 amp examples: compare curve~ and line~; +#X text 255 169 example of an "s" curve; +#X obj 472 -24 import cyclone; +#X obj 138 236 curve~; +#X obj 207 310 Scope~ 130 130 256 3 128 -1 1 0 0 0 0 102 255 51 135 +135 135 0; +#X obj 64 322 Scope~ 130 130 256 3 128 -1 1 0 0 0 0 102 255 51 135 +135 135 0; +#X text 540 191 try different curve parameters (-1 to 1); +#X obj 572 273 curve~; +#X obj 572 319 Scope~ 130 130 256 3 128 -1 1 0 0 0 0 102 255 51 135 +135 135 0; +#X connect 5 0 9 0; +#X connect 5 0 22 0; +#X connect 6 0 26 2; +#X connect 7 0 26 0; +#X connect 8 0 26 0; +#X connect 9 0 24 0; +#X connect 10 0 22 0; +#X connect 11 0 9 0; +#X connect 11 0 22 0; +#X connect 22 0 23 0; +#X connect 26 0 27 0; +#X connect 26 1 2 0; |
