DCA - conversion from slider to gain

Open pendragon-andyh opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

I used Sonic Visualiser to analyse this:

  • Position +5 => 3.5 times slider position 0.
  • Position 0 => 3.5 times slider position -5.

So if your slider returns [0-1] then the conversion formula will be close to:

POWER(1.2589, sliderPos*10)*0.1

We need to be careful of emitting outs that are outside of the range of -1 to +1. This is especially important when you play a 6-note power chord. I seem to remember that Web Audio's spec says that you may get distortion out side of these ranges (or blow out people's ear-drums).
