Ø Mirror

Scales a phase signal and reflects overflow back into the cycle instead of wrapping it.

What it does #

Ø Mirror increases phase travel and folds it at the cycle boundaries. The result alternates direction on successive folds, producing a triangle-like traversal of a downstream waveform rather than the repeated forward traversal produced by Ø Sync.

Practical uses #

• Create folded oscillator phase motion with alternating forward and backward sections.
• Turn a simple phase ramp into a triangle-like address pattern.
• Compare it with Ø Sync at the same Amount to hear reflection versus wrapping.

Things to know #

• Mirror reflects at boundaries; Sync wraps and starts the next traversal in the same direction.
• Its output remains in the phase domain even when the scaled internal value exceeds one cycle.
• More gain creates more folds per input cycle.
• The exact Amount-to-gain mapping is not available from a confirmed Nitro body.

Technical details #

No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.

The behavioral model is a triangle-fold function applied to a scaled phase value: scale the input by gain(amount), reduce it to a two-cycle interval, and reflect the second half back toward zero. This captures the documented mirror operation without claiming an unobserved exact formula or Amount mapping.

Open questions #

• Measure the neutral Amount, exact gain law, boundary samples, behavior for negative phase, stereo behavior, and whether the center of scaling is shifted.

Version and sources #

Checked against Bitwig Studio 6.0.6. This page combines Bitwig's module metadata, the existing Grid course and guides, and Nitro analysis where the mapping is strong enough to support a technical statement.
