+## Signal ranges
+
+Input signals from VCV Rack are divided by `5.0` and output signals
+are multiplied by `5.0` to bring them back in range.  This keeps
+values in the usual range of DSP processing (`-1.0 .. +1.0`) and
+should help when porting algorithms to VCV Rack.  All signals are
+full-range, so you have to apply any input or output saturation
+yourself.
+
+In Faust, the range of knobs is `0.0 .. 1.0` (center position: `0.5`).
+Normal switches toggle between values `0.0` and `1.0`, whereas
+three-way switches have values of `0.0`, `0.5` and `1.0`.
