are signals unipolar or bipolar in genish? #191

we need to set ranges on signal inputs and certain knobs, in mischmaschOps.json -- so what kind of signals are we dealing with?

Signals in genish can have any value.

It's smart to encourage working in sensible ranges (0 to 1, -1 to 1, etc.) where possible, but there's no benefit to limiting all signals to such ranges.

The biggest challenge is Hz. I mentioned before that if we can work with an octave-like scale this would be much better than Hz.

Ok, so should the ranges in the ops be specified in any particular way?

i fully agree. I'll make a ticket for this. Might be outside scope for nuit blanche but worth considering for the general public

freq knobs will now have a range of -10v to +10v. Default value is 3, which equals 130.8Hz
