The Scaler DB Smoothed module smoothly scales multichannel input data by a single gain value specified in dB, (gainDB). The module has i multichannel input pin and one output pin of will have input and output pin pairs as determined by the numPins value, with each output pin having the same dimensions as the input pin. gainDB is automatically converted to a linear value: gain. Changes to the gain parameter are exponentially smoothed (first order IIR) at the sample rate, with the time constant determined by the smoothingTime parameter. This module is controlled by varying the gainDB variable. gainDB is then converted to gain. Internally, currentGain represents the instantaneous smoothed gain that is applied. currentGain exponentially approaches gain with a time constant equal to smoothingTime. currentGain also serves as the starting point of the module. If currentGain = gain then the module starts up in a converged state. If currentGain != gain then the module will smoothly vary the gain at startup.
