Equaliser Q - Width Problem

[Irfan]

Hi all

I'm new to flowstone.

I've found a design problem in flowstones basic Equalizer mouse range/scaling. So you are able to go much farther than you need to. After the Q value goes down to 0.05 it starts to rise again as you continue to drag. This is clearly not right.

Here is a picture for better understanding.

If anyone know how to fix this please let me know.

Best wishes

Hey Irfan,

welcome to the forum! Your observation is correct, altough I think nobody ever bothered to test for Q below 0.05. Anyway, here is a fix preventing Q from rising again.

Thank you Martin,

it's cool and it works great
can you please tell me how did you do that?

Best,

Irfan

If you navigate to the "Convert" modules,
Parametric EQ/GUI/Controls/Convert
you'll see the following conversion from W (width) to Q.

The formula is

Q = 0.05 + 10*(1 - W)^6

So when you drag W from 0 to 1 (in whatever units), Q decreases from 1.05 to 0.05. All good so far. However, if you drag further, since the power 6 is an even number, Q starts to increase again.

What I did is place a Max module after (1 - W) with one input not connected (same as if connected to zero) :
