Dials with multiple zones or response curves...

Inspired by the pitch/speed control on the Make Noise Morphagene I was trying to find ways to add different response curves to different areas of a dial.

This is my hack-job - I'd love to see if anyone has a better way.

I know the Mimeophone also has some great multi-function knobs - where different zones of a knob add different effects - like a volume knob where the first 1/3 is clean, the last 2/3 have a kind of compression, and the last 1/3 introduces a kind of distortion. Or something to that effect. Anyone play around with that stuff or is it all one-knob-per-function around here ;)

Just realised this has a 'nan' error.... sorry.

A [function] after the dial?
Or more of them, with or without splits.

sure, any kind of transition table, number mapping, or even an audio buffer as lookuptable will do that.

if the dial cant output float, give it a high resolution such as 1000 and then happy converting.

These are great - thank you!
