scriptnode - math.

[clumsybear]

I have a few questions about math in scriptnode.

What exactly does math.clip do in scriptnode?
can't find any information...

Also what is math.clear for?

last one, how can I understand core.peak?

cheers

[Christoph Hart]

math.clip limits (clips) the output to the specified value
math.clear clears the output to zero
core.peak detects the peak in the signal and sends the value to the modulation target.

@Christoph-Hart it is very cool the clip 'it just deserves a little softkness button :)

[clumsybear]

@Christoph-Hart so is math.clip something like a clamp between 0 and the set value?

[ustk]

@yall @clumsybear clip is the maximum distortion you can get as it strictly cuts out everything above the value, and below minus the value, hence gives a square like shape.
It's not meant to be smooth, for a smooth result, use tanh

@ustk j avais pas vu celui là je vais essayer. Tu sais comment connecter le visu du cliper a l'interface par hasard ?^^

[clumsybear]

@ustk thanks for the reply, but that's not what I was asking :)

math.clip is used in the transient shaper example in scriptnode for gain computation, I would like to know what exactly it does and if it acts as a clamp, like the clip operator in max/msp gen~ for example

[ustk]

@clumsybear for what I understand of clip in max/msp they are not the same.

math.clip just cuts out what is above or below. Think of it as a diode if you know a bit of electronics

@yall Tu veux dire le node.peak ? Impossible…
