🟩 Color settings and HSB

Color within Liberation is defined as HSB rather than RGB. This may be unfamiliar to you but I find it to be a much more intuitive system once you get used to it.

HSB - Hue, Saturation and Brightness

Hue

The color hue ranges between 0 and 255. 0 is red, and as you increase the value you'll pass through every hue in the rainbow, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, magenta and then back to red at 255.

As this is a loop you can use a triangle wave to cycle through every color.

Saturation

This setting adjusts the saturation or vividness of your color. In other words, how colorful it is and ranges from 0 to 255. Set your saturation to 0 for grays, and 255 for full rainbow colors. Somewhere in the middle will give you pastel washed-out colors.

Brightness

Probably the simplest to understand, 0 is completely black, 255 is full brightness.

Example usage

Rainbow cycle :

Set Brightness and Saturation to 255. Connect a Sawtooth oscillator to your Hue socket, and adjust its range from 0 to 255.

Pulsing brightness :

Connect a Sawtooth oscillator to your Brightness socket, and adjust its range from 255 to 0. You can further adjust the clamp min and max to check the duration of the change. And then use the easing functions to further refine the animation.

Hard flash / strobe :

Select a color using the Hue and Saturation or by clicking on the color picker. Connect a Square Wave oscillator your Brightness socket, adjust its range from 255 to 0.

Cycle across custom range of hues :

Set Brightness and Saturation to 255. Connect a Triangle Wave oscillator to your Hue socket, and adjust its range :

• for blue to cyan use a range of 70 to 128
• for red to yellow use a range of 0 to 40
• for red to magenta use a range of 255 to 220
