A draft whitepaper of my parameterization idea

Everything and anything, but nothing about the LinuxSampler project.

Do you mean Firium?

Still, if it makes me look more academic, I'll see if I can find anything that makes a good comparison.
Well, if you going to sell it there's usually a type of informal opposition to idea (like "Been there, done that. Yawn, old idea, didn't work. Move on, you don't interest me." ;) ) from the audience that is supposed to buy the idea why it's a good idea to be prepared.

Didn't check it out, but for instance, but how do the Yamaha AN1X and Firium (I believe) that Lowkey brought to attention relate for instance?

Okay, I see what you mean. The AN1x does have an interesting feature that relates that I can expand upon. The Firium I'm not sure about, but I'll let lowkey explain. He probably knows something I don't. ;) I would like to make a FIR-based EQ, like Reaper's ReaFIR, for Linux, though, someday.

Yep Firium :)

It pretty much like a wave-sequencer for frequencies. The method how it does it might be of use to you because it looks very simular to what your describing only using other parameters instead of "just" frequencies.

Okay, I see what you mean. Firium uses a key frame approach for automation. That makes perfect sense for that kind of application, where the curves one draws can be very complex, and automating one point at a time becomes too tedious.

Actually, the way it stores captured frames of the EQ curve brings up an interesting idea for my own system, at the interface level.

Here's the third draft, based on your suggestions. I also added a note about the implementation.

EDIT: Paper removed, as the whole concept and design has moved on from there. The rest of this thread has all of the details. Trust me, it's cool. :)

I'm suddenly wondering if the logic I've created with these morphing functions can be extended to allow for the construction of any kind of DSP block. I'll have to think on that one a bit.

Hopefully, this mug of Newcastle Brown I have here will help with that.

Now you need some diagrams and figures to look respectable and make a good impression. (My favorite being figure 2 in Paul Krugman, The Theory of Interstellar Trade, 1978. :D )

I'm working on the diagrams now. Hopefully, I can make some that look decent. I'm using Dia for the purpose.

Damnit, I really hate being on the cusp of solving an interesting problem, and not quite being able to get there.

The linking functions are one of the things I've glazed over so far. I'm at the edge of an idea about how these can work, but I can't quite make the leap. Hopefully, some sleep will help, and I can work it out tomorrow.
