Hi Stefan,

the Blebsynth Filter range is currently created as 20..24000:

> pid_cutoff_ = add_param ("Cutoff", "Cutoff", 20, 24000, 1000, "Hz", STANDARD 
> + "logcenter=880:");

Those boundaries don't fit exactly for a straight logarithmic mapping like
you gave in the comment below, if you also want a straight mapping of
pixels to octaves (i.e. map 0..1 to an integer set of octaves).
The value range closest to the current boundaries that I could find is
centered around F#5 (739.99Hz):

begin=440 * 2**(9/12.) / 2**5. ; end= 440 * 2**(9/12.) * 2**5.
print begin, end
23.1246514194771 23679.6430535446

Let me know if I should use different boundaries when I'm implementing
logarithmic parameters.
