Smooth Random Voltages
author: Adam Wonak (github.com/awonak)
date: 2022-06-01
labels: random, s&h
Random cv with adjustable slew rate.
Inspired by: https://youtu.be/tupkx3q7Dyw
3 random or analog input s&h voltages with changable slew smoothness.
New voltages assigned upon each digital input trigger. Top row outputs move
towards target voltage according to slew rate set by knob 1. Bottom row outputs
immediately change to new target voltage. Voltage source toggled by button 2,
which will switch between random and analog input voltage source. Button 1 will
toggle various display types for the oled.
Col 1, change on each trigger.
Col 2, change on each trigger if target voltage has been reached.
Col 3, change on trigger with knob 2 probability.
digital_input: trigger to set a new target voltage.
analog_input: source for new target value when enabled.
knob_1: slew rate
knob_2: probability of new Col 3 voltage
button_1: cycle through the visualizations: Bars, Scope, Blank.
button_2: cycle through voltage sources: random, analog input.
output_1: smooth random voltage 1 - new voltage on trigger
output_2: smooth random voltage 2 - new voltage after target reached
output_3: smooth random voltage 3 - new voltage based on k2 probability
output_4: stepped random voltage 1 - new voltage on trigger (no slew)
output_5: stepped random voltage 2 - new voltage after target reached (no slew)
output_6: stepped random voltage 3 - new voltage based on k2 probability (no slew)
