Hi Carmen,
thank you for your answer!
certainly not impossible, dynamics compressors/expanders operate on this concept, only mangling the signal when (or when there isnt) an abrupt change. most of them use a small blocksize-or-two lookahead to get better results.. maybe you want to involve a gate of some sort, and flip on and off the lowpass/interpolation/compression depending on some threshold of recent change..
Okay. Then I would be again at the point where I would need two of Thomas' smooth-abstractions (because they cannot be set to a starting value), which looks a bit like overkill to me. Maybe I should just implement some sort of moving average or something similar.
with kind regards, Thoralf.
