WHAT TO KNOW
INPUTS
a: the source; b: the reference point (a constant or another source).
OUTPUT RANGE

USE IT FOR
Inverting a unipolar controller (|MIDI22 - ON| = 1 - Slider 3, 35 factory slots); folding a bipolar random or LFO into 0..1 (|RandV1 - OFF|); an effect that grows the further a controller is from a set point.
