Examples

Arguments

quantum [number]

Optional

Sets the quantum to use for rounding calculations. The incoming calue will be rounded to the nearest value that is a multiple of 1 divided by the quantum.

Inlets

value [number]

The incoming value to be quantized.

quantum [number]

Sets the quantum to use for rounding calculations. The incoming calue will be rounded to the nearest value that is a multiple of 1 divided by the quantum.

Outlets

Fixed Attributes

These attributes must be set in the object box and determine the behavior of the object at runtime.

hot [bool] (default: false)

Trigger computation on all inlets.

Dynamic Attributes

These attributes can be modified in the code during execution using the set object

quantum [number]

Sets the quantum to use for rounding calculations. The incoming calue will be rounded to the nearest value that is a multiple of 1 divided by the quantum.

reset [bang] (default: 0)

Banging this attribute will reset the object to its default state.

value [number]

The incoming value to be quantized.
