LinLog function?

[ceremona]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but... I am amazed to find that there is no logarithmic input mapping function such as LinLog. Am i missing something? LinExp only allows for exponential mapping. How would someone do this other than writing there own math function?

[ceremona]

Ok, I guess nevermind. I can do what I want with simple math functions, which I guess begs the question, why there is a separate function for these mappings at all, when you can just run your input values through a one-line function?

.log, etc...

.linexp and similar are used to map a range to a range. For example input 0-1 to be mapped to exponential range 1-10? No problem: x.linexp(0, 1, 1, 10). Don't worry about the constants needed to calculate that. It means you can think like an audio engineer rather than a mathematician. (You might find that .explin answers your original question, perhaps.)

If you want to think like a mathematician, use .log .exp and so on, no problem. SuperCollider likes mathematics and audio engineering.
