| The **Leaky Integrator** process applies a smoothing algorithm to an input signal. It's particularly useful for reducing jitter from noisy sensors or creating smooth transitions in parameter values. The amount of smoothing can be controlled in real-time by adjusting the leak factor and the update frequency. |

Although this is not wrong, I would prefer something closer to Wiki's explanation. The main reason to use it, other than as a low-pass filter (with any order), is to use it as an accumulator, e.g., have a "measure" of accumulated energy from a given sensor.

On my local build, the added |
| The **Leaky Integrator** process acts as an accumulator that builds up a value based on its input signal over time. Simultaneously, it gradually 'leaks' or decays, preventing the value from growing indefinitely and allowing it to fall back to zero when the input stops. | ||

| This behavior makes it ideal for measuring the 'energy' of a continuous gesture, such as a shake, or for creating smooth, organic-feeling transitions by filtering out noisy sensor data (acting as a low-pass filter). The `Leak Factor` directly controls the rate of this decay. |

Hey @edumeneses , the required description has been changed.

@edumeneses , I have changed the description let me know if any further changes. |
yes it's related to how the metadata is set, let me check. |
