2.1.28. Look-ahead mode


The look-ahead mode parameter allows you to specify the look-ahead algorithm.

  • OFF completely disables look-ahead
  • Offset reacts to the value at the look-ahead horizon
  • Average reacts to the average of the entire look-ahead window
  • Peak reacts to the maximum value in the look-ahead window (attack only)
  • Floor reacts to the minimum value in the look-ahead window (release only)
  • Percentile reacts to a percentile range of values in the look-ahead window
  • Trimmed mean reacts to the trimmed mean of values in the look-ahead window
  • Weighted average reacts to a weighted average of values in the look-ahead window
  • Trend reacts to a linear trend prediction across the look-ahead window

For Leveler, the look-ahead window duration is derived from the look-ahead percentage and the window implied by the current timing mode. In low-latency timing modes, the selected algorithm is applied to a stochastic prediction horizon rather than a delayed buffer whenever look-ahead mode is not OFF.
