## Inputs

### a

Parameter ID: `FXLAJO_IGDHMS_ZPGVXODL` · Range: [-∞..+∞]

### b

Parameter ID: `O27KG7BYCXJHDZJMQ0VRCI` · Range: [-∞..+∞]

Here you can input both values into the Node that should be aligned to one another. As a rule, this effect is stronger if these values don't differ too much.

### k

Parameter ID: `Z9JSFQAHGLJLSO6YORAAFM` · Range: [-∞..+∞]

This setting defines the amount of attenuation for the calculation. The larger the value, the softer the transition between a and b will be.
