Bal

Arguments: reference, input

Bal comes from the csound opcode "balance". Bal will take an input signal, and match the amplitude of the signal with a reference signal.

Typically bal is used as a tool with filters like moogladder whose topology often reduces the gain of the input signal. The example below shows this typical usecase, splitting the input value into a filtered input signal and a dry reference signal. These values go into bal to add makeup gain.
