Hi All,

I’m trying to figure out how to scale the output of a sigmund~ object so that its value is between 0 and 1.0. Basically I want to make it so that the louder the input the louder the output for an oscillator. I figured I could then multiply the output of the sigmund object with the oscillator.

Any tips are greatly appreciated! Thanks

@kaimo Probably.... if I understand your question.....

@whale-av instead of dividing by 100, shouldn't it be [dbtorms]? (assuming I've correctly guessed your understanding of the OP's question)

@jameslo Yes..... you are right..... it should be [dbtorms]...

@kaimo An envelope follower you want to patch?

Depending on how accurate it should be, such simple tasks can quickly become quite complicated.

Scaling of [sigmund~] or [env~] also depends on your input:
