WHAT TO KNOW

INPUTS

Any two sources, with equal weight.

OUTPUT RANGE

-1..+1, clamped (two full unipolar inputs pin at +1)

USE IT FOR

Letting either of two controllers drive one effect (MWheel + Press: vibrato from the wheel or from aftertouch); a source plus a constant offset; a controller on top of another FUN.

WATCH OUT

Two unipolar inputs reach the clamp early: (a+b)/2 keeps the whole travel.
