The correct way to do a transfer curve in SM...

So, I think my approach here ( Doing a "IN CASE" or "SWITCH" in SM) wasn't the correct one for simulate a transfer curve.

This is the idea:

The system have this transfer curve: [IN directly to OUT]

and I have this different transfer curve [IN to SOMETHING to OUT]

I have the second transfer curve data in an String Text Box. I need to compare the IN of a mono signal so for each point between -1 to 1 instead of send the original value, sends the equivalent in the String Text Box.

I was trying to get every point in the original curve (that's the sample rate don't)

But That will kill the CPU (since just for obtain the data sometimes it freezes)

Anyone have a better Idea of how to do this?...

Greetings !

What you describe could be done with a lookup table in ASM. Cyto has posted an ASM lookup table generator for three different types of mappings here cytoTools (part 1). If you are familiar with assembly, you could modify it to your needs. Alternatively, if you can express your mapping as a simple, analytical function, you can just do the mapping for each sample in code, e.g.

streamin x; streamout y; y = (x+1)*(x-3)**0.3535534;

Thanks Martin!

I tried to do with the equation but I can't figure out how to put a "IF > 1" so never clips
