Description

much as i sort of hate the idea,
might want to use lin. interpolation in param scalers instead of full 4096k tables, because flash space is getting crammed.

it might be better to have more space for op nodes / presets, at the cost of e.g. less nicely tuned frequencies.

there is also computation cost of interpolation but worth checking into asf/dsp methods.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the param scalers and their full 4096k tables, then review the relevant DSP methods to compare interpolation's flash savings, computation cost, and frequency tuning impact. Done means establishing whether the tradeoff is acceptable and defining the resulting scaler behavior.
