More functions for sounds

I guess it's just a balance of use over processing. Maybe having 10 bands wouldn't make a noticable difference compared to 4.

I've really got to ask, what's the point in an EQ? Sure, there could be effects added such as reverbs and delays perhaps, but I don't see the good in an EQ. Many people have their own EQ set in their sound cards or amplifiers or whatever anyway.

Different situations cut out different frequency ranges, such as being underwater. When you start to faint you may start to lose sensitivity of certain frequency ranges first. Maybe the Hi and Lo-Pass filters would be all that is needed for these things though. Hmm.

No. I guess if we wanted to cut out the mids, and keep the highs and lows we would need a normal EQ.

Would it be more effective to just have commands that filter all of the sounds coming out of the player's speakers rather than doing them each individually? Or a mix of both?

A single EQ set for the general range would, agreed, be dumb.
But a unique EQ set on each sound played would mean you can record a single note played by a clarinet and extrapolate every note that could be played by a clarinet. Meaning Graal Instruments could be played with more than the 10 preset notes. Like jammin' on the Ocarina.

What about the piano man? You could have a restaurant in a playerworld where you hire a guy to play. Bwahaha.

Haha, I could see Era wanting to make bands.

I think you are thinking of pitch shift.
