Messages

bang		Performs the same function as float using the last input value.
int	input [int]	Converted to float.
float	input [float]	In left inlet: An input value to be filtered. The a new value is received, object filters an input value logarithmically between changes using the formula y (n) = y (n-1) + ((x (n) - y (n-1))/slide) A given sample output from slide is equal to the last value plus the difference between the last value and the input divided by the slide value. Given a slide value of 1, the output will therefore always equal the input. Given a slide value of 10, the output will only change 1/10th as quickly as the input. This can be particularly useful for lowpass filtering or envelope following.
(inlet1)	slide-up-value [float]	In middle inlet: Specifies the slide up value to be used when an incoming value is greater than the current value.
(inlet2)	slide-down-value [float]	In right inlet: Specifies the slide down value to be used when an incoming value is less than the current value.
set	input [int]	The word set followed by a number will set the current input value to the given number without causing output (bang can be used to cause successive output).
reset		Resets the current output sample to 0.
