clock_ramp

core.clock_ramp

A ramp signal generator that is synchronized to the HISE clock, producing a ramp waveform for modulation purposes.

Parameters

ID	Range	Default	Description
Tempo	0.00 - 18.00	5.00	The tempo synchronization setting, matching musical timing (e.g., 1/4 note, 1/8 note). Default is 1/4 note. It uses the default HISE tempo values that are mapped from 0 to 18.
Multiplier	1.00 - 16.00	1.00	A factor that multiplies the base tempo to achieve faster or slower ramp cycles (range: 1.0 to 16.0, default: 1.0).
AddToSignal	0.00 - 1.00	0.00	A binary control (0 or 1) that determines whether the ramp signal is added to the existing signal (default: 0).
UpdateMode	0.00 - 1.00	1.00	Determines whether the ramp signal is updated continuously or only on sync (0: Continuous, 1: Synced, default: 1).
Inactive	0.00 - 2.00	0.00	Sets the ramp signal output when the clock is stopped (0: Last value, 1: Zero, 2: One, default: 0).

The clock_ramp node generates a ramp signal synchronized to the HISE clock, ensuring that the ramp waveform aligns with the project's tempo. This node is polyphonic, allowing it to handle multiple voices and making it suitable for various time-synced modulation effects.

Difference Between ramp and clock_ramp

The core.ramp node generates a free-running ramp signal based on a specified period time, making it suitable for non-tempo-synced modulation. In contrast, the clock_ramp node is synchronized to the HISE clock, aligning its ramp cycles with the project's tempo.

The clock_ramp also offers additional controls for tempo synchronization and behavior when the clock is inactive, providing more flexibility for time-based audio effects.
