exp()

exp(value)

Description

Exponential function. It is often used to make natural decays such as exp(-pos()/9000), because the result falls smoothly over time.

Function shape

Example: exp(-pos()/4000)*sin(X)

Arguments

value: input value

Typical Values

Use moderate values first, then increase modulation depth while listening for clipping, aliasing, or excessive filter resonance.

Example

exp(-pos()/9000)

Notes

For pitched oscillator functions, X already contains the current MIDI note pitch and transpose information. Prefer saw(X), sin(X), or pwm(X, 0.4) unless you intentionally want an octave or ratio shift such as 0.5*X or 2*X.
