Modulators node
Smoothing
Runs an exponential moving average over an input modulator, with an amount knob setting the filter strength, taking the edge off a stepped or noisy source.
What it does
Smoothing 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
Smooth a Pattern node's stepped output to turn a staircase into a gentle glide.
Inputs and outputs
Inputs
- control signal in
Outputs
- control signal out
Controls
Every control with a range can be driven by a modulator, a note, an audio level or a sketch.
| Control | Range or options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| in (no cable) | 0 to 1 | 0.5 |
| amount | 0 to 0.99 | 0.850000024 |
| mode | amount, time, spring | 0 |
