Param Mod : Logarithmic Scale
At the moment, parameter modulation uses a linear scale to map the modulator (Audio, LFO, MIDI CC etc) onto the target parameter. This is not so good for non-linear parameters (e.g frequency)
For example, using MIDI Link modulation, to modulate an EQ frequency band between 1,000 Hz and 11,000 Hz requires a Baseline of 0.569 and a Scale of 0.34. And the 'half-modulated' frequency is about 3,300 Hz.
Wouldn't it be better if a logarithmic(?) mapping scale were used, such that the Baseline were 0.05 (= 1,000 / 20,000) and the Scale were 50% (= (11,000 - 1,000) / 20,000). And the 'half-modulated' frequency would be 6,000 Hz. That makes much more sense to me.
