Yes, I'm aware of the problem. Look e.g. at the envelope modules of ams,
the scope and spectrum viewer and the dynamic waves module. They all have
canvas where some more or less complicated graphics is drawn. But wouldn't
it be posssible to express these things with XML as well ? Hope I soon
find the time to work out some sample code...
Well, the curve would depend on the character of the filter / compressor /
whatever. I guess you could embedd an expression representing the shape,
but that just seems like hard work.
A more general and untilmatly simpler solution is to allow people to write
code for the UI.
