Multi-mode signal average Use the average~ to perform bipolar, absolute, or rms averaging on any input signal. Cycling '74 MSP MSP Analysis MSP Operators (signal) Input and Messages TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE (signal) Running Mean Average Out TEXT_HERE Maximum averaging interval Sets the maximum averaging interval in samples. The default value is 100. Averaging mode Sets the averaging mode, as defined in the "Messages" section. The default is bipolar. Set the averaging sample interval Sets the interval in samples used for each of the three modes of signal averaging. The default value is 100. Set bipolar averaging mode (default) Sets bipolar averaging mode (default). In bipolar mode, the sample values are averaged. Set absolute averaging mode Sets absolute averaging mode. This mode averages the absolute value of the incoming samples. Set root mean square (RMS) averaging mode Sets root mean square (RMS) averaging mode. This mode computes the square root of the average of the sample values squared.

The RMS mode of the average~ object is more CPU-intensive than the bipolar and absolute modes.While RMS values are often used to measure signal levels, the absolute mode often works as well as the RMS mode in many level-detection tasks. The signal to be averaged The signal to be averaged. The running average value of the input signal averaged over the specified number of samples.
