OFFSET(9)

💖 OFFSET(9) 💖 — the HAL Component that's literally just vibes and arithmetic

ok so bestie, welcome to the HAL Component page for offset, and no cap, this one is a little cutie. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

offset — it adds an offset to an input, and then subtracts that same offset from the feedback value. That's it. That's the whole personality. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

loadrt offset [count=N|names=name1[,name2...]]

load it up, and you can either say how many you want with count=N or name your babies individually with names=name1[,name2...]. your call, queen. 👑

---

✨ FUNCTIONS ✨

• offset.N.update-output (requires a floating-point thread) — this one updates the output value by adding the offset to the input. it's giving "math but make it glam". ✨
• offset.N.update-feedback (requires a floating-point thread) — and this one updates the feedback value by subtracting the offset from the feedback. symmetry, bestie. we love to see it. 💅

lowkey important: both of these need a floating-point thread. not a regular one. a floating-point one. don't skip that detail fr fr. 😭

---

✨ PINS ✨

• offset.N.offset float in — the offset value itself. the main character of the whole operation. 👑
• offset.N.in float in — the input value. goes in. 🫶
• offset.N.out float out — the output value. comes out, offset already added. slay.
• offset.N.fb-in float in — the feedback input value. 🌸
• offset.N.fb-out float out — the feedback output value, offset already subtracted. iconic.
