The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

MultiplyingWaveshaper
Level, Compression, Expansion Category
Multiplies Input by a value read from the Wavetable at an index supplied by the NonlinearInput and
attenuates or amplifies the result by multiplying it by Scale.
Can be used as a computationally inexpensive dynamic range controller if the NonlinearInput is a signal
fed through a peak detector or RMS detector and the Input is that same signal delayed by some amount.
In this situation, the Wavetable describes the attenuation of the output amplitude as a function of input
amplitude.
To design a new input-output characteristic function, open the Sample/Wavetable editor and use the
InputOutputCharacteristic template to generate a new transfer function with the desired
compression/expansion parameters.
NonlinearInput
The output of this Sound is used as an index into the Wavetable.
Input
This Sound is multiplied by the value from the Wavetable that is indexed by the NonlinearInput.
Scale
This is a gain control for the output. It can be any positive number.
Wavetable
This is the transfer function that the NonlinearInput indexes into. When used as a dynamic range control,
this function describes a multiplier on the output amplitude as a function of the input amplitude.
