Wire: Convenient new node for tracking between two values with ease-in/ease-out (quad-in/quad-out, exp-in/exp-out)

[webel]

Wire: 7.8.0

If there is already a built-in way of achieving this please advise.

I appreciate one can achieve the following using some Math/Logic gymnastics; but even if you do, the current apparent lack of sub-patching means you can't conveniently reuse the solution.

Resolume Arena/Avenue enable one to, for example, move between Transform values with bounce and soft end value transitions, with easy selection of some popular envelopes like quad-in/quad-out, exp-in/exp-out etc.

Wire feature request A: It would be very nice to be able to do this in Wire, driving between two values, and with the option of bounce, loop etc. Timeline can already be used for a basic linear ramp between a Start value or End value. It could perhaps be adapted for the case A (but I think it would be better to have a new node type).

Wire feature request B: It would also be nice to be able to track to any new value from a current value with built-in drive modes. You move towards (but don't necessarily reach) a new target value until a new target value is set.

Example: You want to drive a Transform coordinate to create random motion, but you don't want it to be jerky, you want it start moving to each new random target coordinate smoothly (like quad-in/quad-out).

If you just use, say Metronome > Random > Smooth, you still get jerky motion when the target value changes. The proposal here is for a dedicate node that has the option to move to a target value on a given timescale, but with a choice of transition styles (including the basic Smooth linear mode).

Try using the Curve node, it has all the curves build in that we offer in the Envelope editor of Arena.
