i forgot to attach the example patch: SFX~.pd

the formula I tested in gnuplot is:
gnuplot> plot [0:1] log(x*10.93+1)/log(10.93+1)

where 10.93 could be a value >0 and it controls the amount of curve.
in the patch i replaced the last part ("log($v2+1)") with "$v3" just to
check its value it was not zero.

if you disconnect [expr~ ....] from [osc~], and connect the first
[vline~] to [osc~] you get the traditional behavior, with linear
interpolated points.


how do you solve this problem in the signal domain? lop~?
how does lop~ react to quick changes of cutoff frequency?
