Would be very useful to have more math functions
Specifically refering exp(x), pow(x,y), log(x) and ln(x)
Some of them could be approximated by taylor series, but results are only partially good. And for sure if you have been able to build SM, coding internally would be much optimal

Another vote for those functions, I think they have already been asked for before but a bump won't hurt 😉

I wish i could code then i would be asking for this sort of stuff, Where did you guys all learn how to use DSP code?
Shifrin ·
I'm still a relative newb as far as DSP (although the maths degree I have helps). But I just got a hold of all the online papers/books/etc I could and started reading and experimenting 🙂

It could resembles a little heretic to telling this here, but i mainly learnt (the litle i know of) DSP wasting a lot of hours to code simple SE modules
And remember.... goggle is your friend...

I always set google as my default url to load in web browsers 🙂

This is what I answered a while back when the same question was posted on kvr: "I learned with the help from my father, he helped me out with programming while I was 10-17 or so. I probably speed past him when I was 15, but he could still come with useful input even after that. Heck, he knows nothing about sound programming, yet he told me how to do a lowpass filter the first time I coded a softsynth. From 17 and forth I've taken a few classes within the area, but didn't really learn that much because usually you're already ahead of them. At work I've learnt a lot though."
I did not learn dsp stuff at work though. The quote is about coding in general.
