[PD] newbie MIDI control questions

[matthew jones]

I find that the best way to think of scaling is to think of it as a linear
mapping (see attached bmp)...

then you just work out the scale factor of the mapping, ie (range 2)/(range
1)
{or ((max 2)-(min 2))/((max 1)-(min 1)) }

and then the offset.  linear mapping is clearly the linear function y = mx
+c,
hence you've worked out m from the scale factor, and c from the offset.

BTW eric, I'll probably get those modified rhythm estimators to you soon,
just that my home pooter is absolutely up sh1t creek...

cheers!
