I'm attempting to make a MSP version of Di Scipio's AUDIBLE ECOSYSTEMICS from the signal flow digram specified in the score. There is a component on the digram called 'integrator'. It has a time variable of 0.01". I understand that this is a form of low pass filtering or averaging but don't quite get the math. Is this the same as what average~ performs? And, can anyone provide a gen implementation of it?

[Please see the attached file for a screenshot of the relevant part of the signal flow chart.]

I think I have the answer. Here's what I understand a leaky integrator to mean. 

the "leak" part refers to feedback, yes? So in an audio application the integrator serves as a slew limiter, with a slew set to 0.01 second here?

but i think your output should be y, not y-1 as you had it

@STKR I think the 'leak' refers to the scaling before the feedback. So some of the signal 'leaks' away, rather than accumulating 100%. There is an explanation here:
