I just discovered this! It looks like it shipped with extended? Also looks like it is in Max?
This thing is awesome because it solves a problem I often have with LFO wave-shaping. I have an LFO like [osc~ 3] which has a range of (-1, 1). I want to be able to use this to represent a frequency scaler. So let's say that +1 is like +1VDC @ 1VDC/octave (like a modular synth). So +1 is like 12 semitones up (octave) and -1 is like 12 semitones down. However this seems really complicated to take a sine wave with a range -1,1 and scale that to 0.5,2 to represent a frequency scalar. (f * 0.5 = one octave down, f * 2 = one octave up). if V~ is your LFO voltage value (input) and you want to generate your voltage-scalar S~: Then it's something like *S~ = (2^(1/12)) ^ (V~ * 12)* This can be done with an [expr~] or with some math~, but it seems cumbersome to me. But if I can convert a (float) MIDI value to frequency value, *at signal rate*, then I can simply ADD my ordinary [osc~ 3] LFO (and also linear Bend-value) and i'm done. (I think of this signal-rate "voltage" representing frequency to be actually like * F~ = MIDIval + LFO~ + Bend)* This is so handy, I would like to ask that [mtof~] be added to Vanilla (if it's not already there) or maybe Alexandre can report if it is in his new Cyclone?
