Attenuator
Level, Compression, Expansion Category
An Attenuator multiplies the left and right channels of its Input by the values in Left and Right. It can be
used to "place" the Input between the speakers; for example, if the Input is multiplied by 1.0 in the right
channel and by 0 in the left channel, it will seem as if the source of the Input is located to the right of the
listener.
Input
This is the Sound whose left and right channels will be attenuated.
Left
This controls the level of the left input channel. The maximum value is 1 and the minimum is -1. The left
channel of the input is multiplied by the value of this parameter. Some example values for Left are:
1 (no attenuation)
0 (maximum attenuation)
!Fader1 (continuous controller sets level)
!KeyVelocity (MIDI key velocity controls the amplitude)
You can also paste another signal into this field, and the amplitude will vary with the output amplitude of
the pasted signal (something like an LFO controlling the attenuation). (See the manual for a complete
description of hot parameters, EventValues, EventSources, and Map files).
Right
This controls the level of the right input channel. The maximum value is 1 and the minimum is -1. The
right channel of the input is multiplied by the value of Right. Some example values for Right are:
1 (no attenuation)
0 (maximum attenuation)
!Fader1 (continuous controller sets level)
!KeyVelocity (MIDI key velocity controls the amplitude)
You can also paste another signal into this field, and the amplitude will vary with the output amplitude of
the pasted signal (something like an LFO controlling the attenuation). (See the manual for a complete
description of hot parameters, EventValues, EventSources, and Map files).
