schmitt

Abstract

A schmitt trigger (a comparator with hysteresis).

Description

Implements a schmitt trigger, which is a comparator with hysteresis. Whenever the input is higher than khigh, output is 1 and stays 1 until input drops beneath klow.

Output is 1 if the input is higher than khigh if signal is increasing
Output is 0 if the input is lower than klow if signal is decreasing

Note

schmitt is particularly useful for implementing effects like a noise gate, to avoid fast opening and closing at the threshold. It can be further refined together with lagud to add attack / release times to the opening of the gate or with trighold to assure a minimum open time for the gate

Port of pd/else's schmitt

Syntax

xout  schmitt xin, khigh, klow

Arguments

xin: input signal (k- or audio rate). The rate of xin must match the rate of xout
khigh: high value of the comparator, output is 1 whenever input is higher than this
klow: low value of the comparator, output is 0 whenever input is lower than this

Output

xout: output value of the comparator (0 or 1). Rate of xout is the same as xin

Execution Time

Performance (k or audio)
