[PD] Non-Linear Quantization / Bitcrush

[Ludwig Maes]

So you want amplitude 'a' dependant quantization size 'q' ? take your
chosen q(a); in your example it seems you want a simple line:
q=q(0)-k*a;
define f(a) as integral of 1/q from a=0 to a; also calculate the
inverse of f(a) i.e. a(f);

now for each sample do: out=a(round(f(in))) where round is any floor
or the like...

have fun!

ps:

in your example: q=q0-k*a with for example q(0)=0.001 and
q(0.8)=0.0001: q:=0.001-0.0009/0.8*a
then f=2558.427881-1111.111111*ln(10.-9.*a)
and inverse=easy
