MPE / Note Expression

Description

Returns per-note timbre in the range 0.0 to 1.0. This follows MPE timbre or CC74-style note expression and is ideal for cutoff, brightness, wave shape, formant amount, or blend movement per held note.

Arguments

No arguments.

Default Behavior

Defaults to 0.0 until the corresponding note expression event arrives from the host.

Example

lp(saw(X), 400+5200*timbre(), 0.18)

Notes

On many expressive controllers this corresponds to Y axis motion. Each note can have its own independent timbre() value while other notes continue sounding differently.
