WHAT TO KNOW

INPUTS

a: the lesser source; b: the main one, or a constant offset.

OUTPUT RANGE

-1..+1, clamped

USE IT FOR

A controller as a smaller extra on another source; a scaled and offset control (MIDI22 / 2 + 0.05: Slider 3 mapped to 0.05..0.55, 13 factory slots).

WATCH OUT

b counts twice as much as a, and the sum is clamped: with b near +1 there is no room left for a.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

In 68 FUN slots of the factory programs: FUN1 32, FUN4 30, FUN3 4, GFUN4 2. GFUN2 and GFUN4 are the program's global FUNs. 32 of these slots have both inputs OFF, unused slots that keep this equation: its real uses are 36.
