Description

Smooths an incoming signal across n samples. Each time an incoming value changes, it begins a linear ramp to reach this value.

Arguments

ramp-up-samples[int]
optional

Number of samples for ramp-up

ramp-down-samples[int]

Number of samples for ramp-down

Attributes

rampdown[int]: 1

Specifies the number of samples over which a signal will be smoothed when an incoming value less than the current value arrives.

rampup[int]: 1

Specifies the number of samples over which a signal will be smoothed when an incoming value greater than the current value arrives.

Messages

int

In middle inlet: Use an int to set the ramp-up value.

In right inlet: Use an int to set the ramp-down value.

Arguments:
  • ramp-up/down-value [int]

float

In middle inlet: Use a float to set the ramp-up value.

In right inlet: Use a float to set the ramp-down value.

Arguments:
  • ramp-up/down-value [float]

ramp

Specifies the number of samples over which a signal will be smoothed. Each time an incoming value changes, the rampsmooth~ object begins a linear ramp of the specified number of samples to reach the new value. The default value is 0 .

Arguments:
  • sample-count [int]

signal

In left inlet: Each time an incoming value changes, the object begins a linear ramp over a specified number of samples to reach the new value.

In middle inlet: Use a signal to set the ramp-up value.

In right inlet: Use a signal to set the ramp-down value.

Output

signal

The smoothed signal is sent out the outlet.
