Gotcha.
It’s just the “scaling of the dimensions” is a counterintuitive way to go about doing this, rather than “weighing” them directly.
I’ve just worked out a cool thing in the latest (about to be released) SP-Tools that can do descriptor replacing, which works really well for “forcing” a melodic contour onto incoming data that has none (e.g. drums), so when doing this I want to also weigh the pitch descriptor higher as to influence the matching in a more deliberate way when being used to query a melodic corpus. At the moment it works and sounds good but in a subtle way.
Ah right, this one here. I just saw standardize and assumed it was impacting the standardized projection.
Also, it seems like the way you’re doing the math here the input to this “hack” is actually oriented in a “weight” format. Where 0.5 1.0 is making the first value weigh half as much (by producing an output that is twice as big).
p.s. is this a hint for future changes, or just a general statement?
