lmt()
lmt(input, threshold)
Category
Envelope / Control
Description
Envelope-style limiter/window helper. It is useful for limiting a signal or modulation by a threshold-like value.
Transfer curve
Example: lmt(saw(x*2*pi()*440/44100),0.75)
Arguments
- input: audio/control signal to process
- threshold: positive clipping or limiting level
Typical Values
Use moderate values first, then increase modulation depth while listening for clipping, aliasing, or excessive filter resonance.
Example
lmt(sin(X), 0.7)
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.
