class:: LinExp
summary:: Map a linear range to an exponential range
related:: Classes/LinLin
categories::  UGens>Maths


Description::

Converts a linear range of values to an exponential range of values.

classmethods::

method::ar, kr

argument::in

The input signal to convert.


argument::srclo

Lower limit of input range.


argument::srchi

Upper limit of input range.


argument::dstlo

Lower limit of output range.


argument::dsthi

Upper limit of output range.

discussion::
The code::dstlo::  and  code::dsthi::  arguments
must be nonzero and have the same sign.


Examples::

code::
// compare:
(
{
	var mod = SinOsc.kr(Line.kr(1, 10, 10));
	SinOsc.ar(mod * 400 + 500) * 0.1
}.play;
)

(
{
	var mod = SinOsc.kr(Line.kr(1, 10, 10));
	SinOsc.ar(LinExp.kr(mod, -1,1, 100, 900)) * 0.1
}.play;
)

// modulating destination values.
(
{
	var mod = LFNoise2.ar(80);
	SinOsc.ar(LinExp.ar(mod, -1,1, MouseX.kr(200, 8000, 1), MouseY.kr(200, 8000, 1))) * 0.1
}.play;
)
::

code::linexp:: and code::exprange:: can be used to create a LinExp implicitly from a ugen, mapping its output values from linear range to an exponential one. The rate is derived from the ugen.

code::
// linexp
(
{
	var mod = LFNoise2.ar(80);
	SinOsc.ar(mod.linexp(-1,1, MouseX.kr(200, 8000, 1), MouseY.kr(200, 8000, 1))) * 0.1
}.play;
)

// exprange
(
{
	var mod = LFNoise2.ar(80).exprange(MouseX.kr(200, 8000, 1), MouseY.kr(200, 8000, 1));
	SinOsc.ar(mod) * 0.1
}.play;
)
