Multiply

Multiplies two control signals together, outputting y = a × b. With one input as a static amount it acts as an attenuverter for scaling and inverting modulation depth; with two audio-rate inputs it behaves as a ring modulator, producing sum-and-difference sidebands. This makes it a flexible building block for both modulation shaping and timbral effects.

Inputs

A

• ID: a
• Kind: control
• Rate: control
• Coercion: Implicit
• Default: 1

B

• ID: b
• Kind: control
• Rate: control
• Coercion: Implicit
• Default: 1

Outputs

Result

• ID: y
• Kind: control
• Rate: control
• Coercion: Implicit

Notes

• Canonical ID: math.mul
• Category: math
• Runtime Surface: control
• Runtime Targets: control-main-thread
• JUCE Early Access: Supported
• Early Access Note: Native-supported in the plugin for the current catalog/runtime support contract.
• Formula: y = a × b
• Multiplying pitch CV, MIDI-derived note values, gates, or triggers changes their numeric magnitude rather than preserving musical semantics.
• Prefer dedicated conversion or routing nodes before multiplying mixed-domain signals.
