## transegb

transegb — Constructs a user-definable envelope in absolute time.

## Description

Constructs a user-definable envelope in absolute time.

## Syntax

    ares transegb ia, itim, itype, ib [, itim2] [, itype] [, ic] ...

    kres transegb ia, itim, itype, ib [, itim2] [, itype] [, ic] ...

## Initialization

ia -- starting value.

ib, ic, etc. -- value after itim seconds.

itim -- time in seconds of end of first segment.

itim2,... itimx etc. -- time in seconds at the end of the segment.

itype, itype2, etc. -- if 0, a straight line is produced. If non-zero, then transegb creates the following curve, for n steps:

ibeg + (ivalue - ibeg) * (1 - exp( i*itype/(n-1) )) / (1 - exp(itype))

## Performance

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.

## Examples

Here is an example of the transegb opcode. It uses the file transegb.csd. The example produces the following output:
