## lincos

lincos — Linear to cosine interpolation

## Description

Plugin opcode in emugens.

Maps a linear range of values to a cosine (easy-in/easy-out) range of values. At present it supports only scalars, at i- and k-time (no arrays)

## Syntax

    ky lincos kx, ky0, ky1 [, kx0, kx1 ]

    iy lincos ix, iy0, iy1 [, ix0, ix1 ]

## Performance

kx -- Input signal

ky0 -- Lower limit of output range

ky1 -- Higher limit of output range

kx0 -- Lower limit of input range (default = 0)

kx1 -- Higher limit of input range (default = 1)

    dx = ((x-x0) / (x1-x0)) * PI + PI
    y  = y0 + ((y1 - y0) * (1 + cos(dx)) / 2.0);

## Examples

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