## ephasor

ephasor — produces two outputs: a periodic phase signal and a periodic exponential decaying signal.

## Description

This opcode produces two outputs: a periodic phase signal (like the phasor opcode), and a periodic exponential decaying signal. The latter is synchronised to the former, starting at 1 and then decreasing at the same time as the phase signal increases from 0 to 1. The rate of exponential decay can be controlled by the second parameter.

## Syntax

    aexp,aph ephasor kfreq, kR

## Performance

kfreq - the rate at which the phase and exponential signals are generated

kR - a parameter controlling the decay rate of the exponential signal, 0 < kR < 1. Lower values produce faster decays.

## Examples

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