So perhaps applying the weird math processings I mentioned earlier
on parts of the signal only would produce less raw & distorted results...

for instance, if full scale 16 bits signal goes from 00 to FF, applying
processing to samples between F0 and F4 (for instance) would
give interesting results... one can even imagine to have the width
& position of this samples range voltage-controled, and since there's
plenty of computing power in today's uCs, why not have some code
checking the level of input signal and adapt the processing to the signal
level (so that the portion of the signal that gets processed is always
the same, no matter the signal level - pre-VCA treatment in fact)...

another idea, processing of signal parts (like outputing average of
last n samples) could be determined by what happens in other parts
of the signal (and that could be voltage-controled too)...

Indeed, lots of room for experiments... and perhaps some
interesting results...
