## gainslider

gainslider — An implementation of a logarithmic gain curve which is similar to the gainslider~ object from Cycling 74 Max / MSP.

## Description

This opcode is intended for use to multiply by an audio signal to give a console mixer like feel. There is no bounds in the source code so you can for example give higher than 127 values for extra amplitude but possibly clipped audio.

## Syntax

    kout scale kindex

## Performance

kin -- Index value. Nominal range from 0-127. For example a range of 0-152 will give you a range from -inf to +18.0 dB.

kout -- Scaled output.

## Examples

Here is an example of the gainslider opcode. It uses the file gainslider.csd.
