I have used the ‘scale’ object before which is great, but I wonder if there is a logarithmic scale object under another name i have missed that has preset response curves or a curve that can be plotted on a graph by the user allowing for a scale result that is not so linear.

The other alternative I see is to make lots of individual splits and scale objects to create a logarithmic result, but I was hoping for a more efficient and tidy solution.perhaps someone has done something like this before?

thanks for any help. : )

the [scale] object, can use an exponential base to have a more “curved” effect other than a linear output! may you could use it for what you want!

If you want to draw your mapping by hand you can use [table].

Here’s an abstraction that you may find helpful.

best,

Glad you like it. I have a similar version of zmap, and other abstractions here: http://www.zacharyseldess.com/z.abstractions.html
