Weighing descriptors in a query

[rodrigo.constanzo]

the main difference is between std and nrm is that we store the extreme of the range in nrm (data_max and data_min and (target)max and (target)min) and recompute them upon loading. so yes, you can enter your min and max in there as a dict and it’ll work.

So I did get this working in the end, but ran into what seems like a bug (documented here).

Luckily in my case the @min and @max are always fixed, so I can just set them as @attributes in the object, but it does feel like those should load dynamically with what you write in the dict.

@tremblap

our freq out descriptors do have a @unit (or similar attribute) to do exactly that, for exactly that reason

Indeed, though in this case I’m dealing with arbitrary (UI) parameters, so it’s a bit better visually reading a filter cutoff in Hz rather than MIDI etc…
