General Information

Scaler modules multiply the input signal by a constant value. think of scalers as gain controls or faders. There are many different types of scalers and they have the following characteristics:

...

These modules are frequently used to invert or add an offset to a signal by setting the scale factor equal to 1.0. This is easier than using separate DCSource and Adder modules.

Mutes

Several other modules exist which do smoothing scaling of signals between fixed values. The MuteSmoothed module scales between 0 and 1 and the Invert module scales between +1 and -1. There is also a MuteNSmoothed module which is designed for multichannel signals and allows the individual mute control for each channel.

...

SoloMute 

Similar to MuteN except that it includes the ability to solo or listen to only 1 channel.

Crossfader

The Crossfader module takes in two sources and smoothly varies between the two input sources. It also has energy levelling during the crossfade based on either a Linear scale (amplitude) or the energy of the signal (rms). This module has a control pin that varies between 0 and 1, correlating to the next two input pins. It is limited to two channels.

General Purpose Scalers

As mentioned earlier, the general purpose scaler supports smoothing, dB and linear gain values, optional input pin, and even pin counts. If a multichannel-multivalued gain is needed, the General Purpose Vector Scaler supports up to 256 simultaneous channels.
