mathematical operation modules

 
 

Multiply & Add

Multiply (add) the values at the value in connectors.

Modulo

Let v1 and v2 be the values at the first and the second value in connectors, then this module performs the following calculation:

v1 - floor (v1 / v2) * v2

That is basically the idea of the integer modulo operation transfered to floating point values.

A quite simple operation but not that easy to explain. Maybe the following image helps:

Basically, the oparator maps the input values v1 to the range [0,v2) by cutting and downscaling the input/output-graph at multiplicants of v2.

For example: If v2 equals 1, you get values in the range [0,1) consisting of the floating point digits of v1.

Invert

Inverts values from a certain range.

This module simply subtracts it's input from 1 if it lies in it's active range.

For example, you could change the sawtooth pattern of a modulator's output to a triangular one by inverting values in the range [0.5, 1.0] and afterwards multiplying them by 2:

the original curve

after inverting values in the range [0.5, 1.0]

after multiplying by 2

Attack & Decay

These modules map values from a certain range to the range [0.0, 1.0] (attack) or [1.0, 0.0] (decay). If the smooth mode is activated, the resulting curve has a sinus shaped slope.

For example:

the original curve

after applying a smooth decay in the range [0.5, 1.0]

after applying a smooth attack in the range [0.0, 0.5]

Switch

The switch module toggles between it's two input values every time when the value at it's third input is smaller than the last value.

This module is especially useful in conjunction with a trigger module.

Random

Generates random values in the range [0,1] if the value in connector is unconnected.

If connected, it generates a random value every time when the input value is smaller than the last input value and interpolates between the new and the old random value otherwise.

Accu

Accumulates the values at it's value in connector. The second value in connector may be used to reset the accumulation buffer.

If the increment switch in the inspector is deactivated, it subtracts the values from it's buffer.

If you exchange input and output in the explanation graph for the modulo module, you might get an idea, of what this module is doing.
