Modulators node

Invert

Mirrors an input modulator around a low/high pivot, so rises become falls and vice versa — and it still behaves correctly on signals that run outside the usual 0..1 range.

What it does

Invert is a modulator: it makes a moving value that can drive any control on the canvas. It takes control signal in and gives control signal out.

Try it

Invert an LFO feeding one destination while the un-inverted LFO feeds another, so two parameters move oppositely together.
