Modulators node

Mod Depth

Scales how much of an incoming modulator's swing reaches its destination with a single depth knob from -1 to 1 — at 0 the signal has no effect, negative values invert it while still scaling.

What it does

Mod Depth 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

Automate depth itself with a slow LFO to fade a modulation effect in and out over time.
