The Envelope Pattern Node creates a short, repeating automation pattern output, similar to an LFO with an editable waveform. Unlike LFOs, however, the Envelope Pattern Node is always synced to the Timeline (even if not placed on the Timeline), so it always outputs the same value at the same time, even while playback is paused (in which case it outputs the same paused value continuously).
Settings
In addition to the settings listed below, this Node also defines a repeating Envelope that can be edited from Node properties. See the Envelope Editor docs for more information.
Output min
Sets the minimum output value, i.e. the lowest output value of the envelope.
Output max
Sets the maximum output value, i.e. the greatest output value of the envelope.
Repeat duration
The duration over which the envelope is played before repeating.
Declick
When set, “clicks” are removed from the output by applying small amounts of smoothing.
Outputs
Control Output
The current envelope value. This is always synced to the Timeline (even if the Envelope Pattern Node is placed on the Timeline), so it always outputs the same value at the same time, even while playback is paused (in which case it outputs the same paused value continuously).
Technical Details
- Continues to output its value while paused
- If placed on the Timeline and there is no clip defined at a particular point in time, always outputs zero, even if the Output min setting is set to a non-zero value
- If placed on the Timeline and there are 2 or more clips defined at a particular point in time (i.e. overlapping), the produced output is the sum of those clips
