Hi all trying to create a knob to change my cutoff frequency on my Biquad filter graph. I want to then control it by midi but im having problems getting the knob to smoothly rotate this is because the range of the knob is 127 for midi.

Ive tried dividing the output by 127.0 and then multiplying by 22000.0 and putting the output into the cutoff input, but this isn't any good as there are big steps in frequency when turning from low frequencies, it is fine as i reach the high frequencies and this is because of the maths technique i used, but i can't figure out another method.

I am very new to MSP so any help would be well appreciated. Thanks.

Have a look at [scale], perhaps in conjunction with [line] or [line~].
