Approach

The Approach source will gradually approach a target value. Each of its parameters moves the result a fraction of the way towards the goal.

Suppose there are three parameters with the default input and influence ranges.

An output value of 0.5 means that we move 50% from the current value to the goal value. Therefore, given the following inputs:

  • A: 0.3
  • B: 0.8
  • C: 0.1

...this moves:

  • 30% of the way from 0 to 1: 0.3
  • 80% of the way from 0.3 to 1: 0.86
  • 10% of the way from 0.86 to 1: 0.874

Each input will only ever move you closer to the maximum output value.

This is useful for combining many inputs to control a single effect. The result will never exceed the maximum value, and each input will have an effect (even if it's small).

You can adjust the input and output ranges of each parameter. This allows for some parameters to have weaker effects than others, or for them to operate over different input ranges.
