Hi andy, many thanks for your infos. the link you gave me helps a lot, but how can I get more informtaion about the lookup tables you mentioned? I have never used them before, so they are still quite a mystery.
thanks, m. One thing you might like to look at is the Fletcher Munsen curve. There isn't a hard mathematical relationship between perceived amplitude (loudness) and frequency, it's more of a biological and psychoacoustic effect, and somewhat subjective between listeners. http://ccrma.stanford.edu/CCRMA/Courses/SummerWorkshops/96/Psychoacoustics/labs/ loudness/ The Pd solution to this is to use lookup tables to scale amplitude, a bit less fiddly than setting up a piecewise function.
