¶ Integrator
Category: 🔊 Audio
¶ Description
A leaky integrator with separate rise and fall time constants. Smooths an incoming signal so that the level can only change by a limited amount per second.
Useful as a slew limiter, lag/portamento, or low-pass smoother for control signals. Combine with an absolute-value step (e.g. through a Math Stream) to build an envelope follower that tracks the loudness of an audio signal. The Set Value jolt jumps the internal state to a specific number — usually you also want to update the Signal input at the same time so it doesn't immediately drift back.
¶ Inputs, Outputs and Parts
¶ Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Signal input | Stream Input | The signal to integrate. |
| Rise control | Stream Input | Integration constant used while the signal is rising. Higher values track faster, lower values smooth more. |
| Fall control | Stream Input | Integration constant used while the signal is falling. Higher values track faster, lower values smooth more. |
| Set value | Jolt Input | Immediately sets the internal value of the integrator. Usually you also want to set the Signal input so the value doesn't drift back. |
¶ Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Signal output | Stream Output | Smoothed (integrated) signal. |
