class:: VarLag
summary:: Variable shaped lag
related:: Classes/Lag, Classes/Ramp, Classes/Slew
categories:: UGens>Filters>Linear
Description::
Similar to link::Classes/Lag:: but with other curve shapes than exponential.
A change on the input will take the specified time to reach the new value.
Useful for smoothing out control signals.
classmethods::
method::ar, kr
argument::in
The input signal.
argument::time
Lag time in seconds.
argument::curvature
Control curvature if strong::warp:: input is 5 (default).
0 means linear, positive and negative numbers curve the segment up and down.
argument::warp
Determines the shape. The possible values are:
table::
## code::\step:: || || flat segment
## code::\linear:: || code::\lin:: || linear segment, the default
## code::\exponential:: || code::\exp:: || natural exponential growth and decay. In this case, the levels must all be nonzero and the have the same sign.
## code::\sine:: || code::\sin:: || sinusoidal S shaped segment.
## code::\welch:: || code::\wel:: || sinusoidal segment shaped like the sides of a Welch window.
## code::\squared:: || code::\sqr:: || squared segment
## code::\cubed:: || code::\cub:: || cubed segment
::
All values above will ignore strong::curvature:: input.
note::
When controlling this from the outside, use code::Env.shapeNumber(symbol):: to get the numeric value for each shape.
::
argument::start
Initial value. If not specified, same as the input signal.
argument::mul
Output will be multiplied by this value.
argument::add
This value will be added to the output.
Examples::
code::
(
// used to lag pitch
{
SinOsc.ar( // sine wave
VarLag.kr( // lag the modulator
LFPulse.kr(1).range(100,400), // frequency modulator
0.2, // lag time
Line.kr(-8, 8, 15, doneAction: Done.freeSelf) // modulate shape
),
0, // sine phase
0.3 // sine amplitude
)
}.play
)
::
code::
(
x = play { |amp=0, time=0, curve=0, warp=5|
PinkNoise.ar(VarLag.kr(amp, time, curve, warp) ! 2)
}
)
x.set(\amp, 1, \time, 5, \warp, Env.shapeNumber(\sin)) // s-shaped curve up
x.set(\amp, 0, \time, 1, \warp, Env.shapeNumber(\lin)) // linear down
x.set(\amp, 1, \time, 2, \warp, 5, \curve, 7); // slow curvature
x.set(\amp, 0, \time, 0);
x.set(\amp, 1, \time, 2, \warp, 5, \curve, -7); // fast curvature
x.set(\amp, 0, \time, 0);
x.free;
