Mathematical

Simple mathematical functions that can be applied on any number token. They are generally very simple operations that you might find on a digital calculator or on any interface capable of computation:

Function name	Arguments	Description	Return type
sin	...x	Sinusoïd function	1 or more Number
cos	...x	Cosinus function	1 or more Number
tan	...x	Tangent function	1 or more Number
abs	...x	Absolute function	1 or more Number
max	...x	Maximum function	Number
min	...x	Minimal function	Number
mean	...x	Arithmetic mean function	Number
scale	[], imin, imax, omin, omax	Scaling a list from range to range	List
quant	[], []	Quantize the first list to values in second	List
clamp	x, y, z	Simple clamping function (x between y and z)	List or Number

Example of application:

@swim
def demo(p=1/4, i=0):
    D('moog:5', lpf='(sin $*2500)', res='(cos $)/2', i=i, legato=0.1)
    D('cp', speed='0+(abs -rand*5)', d=8, i=i)
    again(demo, p=1/8, i=i+1)

These functions are the bread and butter of a good high-speed Sardine pattern. They will allow you to create signal-like value generators (e.g Low frequency oscillators). They are also very nice to use in connjunction with $ or any timed value. You will find many creative ways to use them (especially by combining with arithmetic operators).
