Introduction Modules Data

Data

Usine provides a comprehensive set of data processing modules for generating, filtering, scaling, mixing, and analyzing control signals. These modules operate on data flows (float values, triggers, arrays) and are the building blocks for modulation, sequencing, and control logic.

Category	Modules	Description
Generators	23	LFOs, step sequencers, random generators, chaos attractors, Euclidean rhythms, envelopes, Perlin noise, and more
Filters	7	Smooth, moving average, median, Kalman, hysteresis, attack/release, and spring physics
Scaling & Mapping	6	Linear remapping, curve/lookup-table mappers, auto-scale, wrap, and fold
Mix & Routing	4	Mixer, selector, dispatch, and dispatch with crossfade
Utilities & Analysis	8	Counter, delay, accumulation, probability gate, slope detector, quantizer, DTW distance, and gesture recognition

Generators

Filters

Smooth, stabilize, and clean up noisy or jittery data signals.

Data Filter Moving Average	FIR-type smoother averaging N recent values (rolling average)
Data Filter Median Value	Sorts queued values and returns the middle one to reject outliers
Data Filter Kalman	Statistical prediction-based Kalman filter for optimal noise filtering
Data Filter Hysteresis	Dead-zone threshold filter: only passes changes larger than the hysteresis value
Data Filter Spring	Spring physics model: output follows input with inertia, overshoot, and oscillation

Scaling & Mapping

Remap, reshape, and constrain data values to different ranges and curves.

Module	Description
Data Scaling Change Scale	Linear remapping from [minIn..maxIn] to [minOut..maxOut]
Data Scaling Mapper Curves	Non-linear mapping with log, expo, power, linear, wave shaper, or user-drawn curves
Data Scaling Mapper Values	Lookup table mapping specific input values to specific output values
Data Scaling Auto Scale	Automatically adapts to input range by tracking min/max over a time window
Data Scaling Wrap	Wraps values using modulo arithmetic at boundaries (cyclic behavior)
Data Scaling Fold	Folds (reflects) values at boundaries creating mirrored zigzag behavior

Mix & Routing

Combine, select, or dispatch data flows between multiple inputs and outputs.

Module	Description
Data Mix Mixer	N-input, 1-output mixer: weighted sum of all inputs
