[sharing is sharing]Tool for rapid prototying relations
Hello!
This is a tool for this situation:
You have two parameters that have to be in some kind of relation to each other. You start thinking. Is it linear? is it logarithmic? is it exponantial, with what base value? Is it something completely different?
Maybe there is no answer but it might me rather a creative choice than a scientific question in some cases.
So here is what i want to share:
Two patches. One little simple integer lookup table thats in a bpatcher and saves with the patcher.
The other one is the "curve deigner" you might put it in your extras folder.
Now in this situation you just put you little lookup bpacher between your parameters(which you have stored in your clippings for easy access), try out curves with the curve disigner tool and the little lookup table is able to get the curve(on one button press) and save it with the patcher. (multiple loopup tables are no problem)
Its quite simple just one tool where you can design curves with a big interface and one little module that is very tiny and just does the lookup and displays what curve is used.
So wether you just want to try out different relations and replace them later by a clever [expr] or you just leave them where they are i think it's a quite handy tool.
(future versions are planned to support writing to little buffers to support float and audio-rate lookpup)
again, for most convenience(and that's what this is all about) put "curveinsert" into your clippings and "curvedeigner1" into your extras folder.
have fun and I'm happy about any comments.
(documentation:
open "curvedesigner1", paste "curveinsert" into your patcher, make your curve in curvedesigner, press to table. press update at curvedeigner bpatcher(s), voila. close curvedesigner at will)
It looks cool ! but it's not there...
