## Detailed Description

STK asymptotic curve envelope class.

This class implements a simple envelope generator which asymptotically approaches a target value. The algorithm used is of the form:

y[n] = a y[n-1] + (1-a) target,

where a = exp(-T/tau), T is the sample period, and tau is a time constant. The user can set the time constant (default value = 0.3) and target value. Theoretically, this recursion never reaches its target, though the calculations in this class are stopped when the current value gets within a small threshold value of the target (at which time the current value is set to the target). It responds to keyOn and keyOff messages by ramping to 1.0 on keyOn and to 0.0 on keyOff.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ setTau()

void stk::Asymp::setTau | ( | StkFloat | tau | ) |

Set the asymptotic rate via the time factor tau (must be > 0).

The rate is computed as described above. The value of tau must be greater than zero. Values of tau close to zero produce fast approach rates, while values greater than 1.0 produce rather slow rates.

## ◆ tick()

StkFrames & stk::Asymp::tick | ( | StkFrames & | frames,
|  | unsigned int | channel = `0`
| ) |  |
| inlinevirtual

Fill a channel of the StkFrames object with computed outputs.

The `channel` argument must be less than the number of channels in the StkFrames argument (the first channel is specified by 0). However, range checking is only performed if STK_DEBUG is defined during compilation, in which case an out-of-range value will trigger an StkError exception.

Implements stk::Generator.
