transeg — Constructs a user-definable envelope.
ares transeg ia, idur, itype, ib [, idur2] [, itype] [, ic] ...
kres transeg ia, idur, itype, ib [, idur2] [, itype] [, ic] ...
ia -- starting value.
ib, ic, etc. -- value after idur seconds.
idur -- duration in seconds of first segment. A zero or negative value will cause all initialization to be skipped.
idur2,... idurx etc. -- duration in seconds of segment
itype, itype2, etc. -- if 0, a straight line is produced. If non-zero, then transeg creates the following curve, for n steps:
ibeg + (ivalue - ibeg) * (1 - exp( i*itype/(n-1) )) / (1 - exp(itype))
If itype > 0, there is a slowly rising (concave) or slowly decaying (convex) curve, while if itype < 0, the curve is fast rising (convex) or fast decaying (concave). See also GEN16.
Here is an example of the transeg opcode. It uses the file transeg.csd. The example produces the following output:
