Leakage

Leakage is a multi purpose voltage processor. It’s a single line of Flux but with a few improvements. It can be used as:

• Gain control
• Offset
• Sample and hold
• Slew limiter (linear and exponential)
• Envelope follower
• Noise source
• Gate

Documentation

• Range: Attenuates/amplifies the input signal (or noise) from 0x to 2x.
• Offset: Adds a constant voltage to the input signal from -5V to 5V.
• Follower:
  • Lin: The output signal will approach the input signal linearly at a rate defined by the Rate knob.
  • Exp: The output signal will approach the input signal exponentially at a rate defined by the Rate knob.
  • Env: Envelope follower, the output signal will approach exponentially to the envelope of the input signal.
• Rate: Defines the speed (or time constant) at which the follower reacts.
• In: Input signal. When disconnected Leakage generates noise.
• Clk: Signal used to trigger the S&H. When disconnected the S&H is bypassed.
• Out: Output of the processed signal.

Modulation inputs

Leakage provides a pair of inputs and attenuverters to control the Range and the Offset. Modulating the Range can behave as a Gate or VCA allowing you to multiply the input signal by a second CV signal.

Special Functions

Leakage behaves differently depending on which signals are connected. When the In signal is not connected, Leakage generates noise at its input. When a signal is connected to the Clk input, Leakage becomes a Sample and Hold.
