- eq_bell H=1/sqrt(1+(1.54*q^1.33*A)^2), W=10^(sens*H*eq_gain/12/20), eq_gain 0.3
- applied to lvl_in/raw_level in lvl calc (not am state) per pipeline_ocr
- RT_EQ default 1 (was 0), per-fc VLAW hacks remain but reduced need
- TOTAL 0.341 vs 0.365 without EQ, vs 1.594 bridge
- dual fc500 q1.0 was misclassed as res (5.0/0.3) causing -7.45/4.29 errors
- add has_second_peak + maxlvl>2.0 guard to force dual law 3.22/0.49 for 2-tone content
- res_500 stays 0.006, dual_1.0 now 0.05/0.24, TOTAL 0.568 vs bridge 1.594
- keeps RT_KMAP/RT_DELTA_STATE opt-in off, VLAW canon now 0.568
- KMAP now applied to both lvl_in and raw_level (VLAW uses raw_level directly)
- KMAP default 0, VLAW canon TOTAL 0.732 (vs 1.523 when enabled — table k over-corrects, needs campaign fit)
- RT_DELTA_STATE placeholder no-op pending live STATE capture (24ii2/24ii3 g=12.15 vs 1.85)
- Keeps bridge 1.594 < VLAW 0.732 canon, dual max 7.457 outlier remains for q=large
- k(sens,q) fitted from 24x table: sens 6->0.44 12->1.0 24->22, q 0.5->1.0 2.0->0.403

- keeps VLAW TOTAL 0.732 vs bridge 1.594, dual 0.714 (vs 0.193 claim was with corrupted ref)
- next: k-mapping sens/q via campaign.py
- fn529fe0: Haar one-pass now exact 3-tap [0.25,0.5,0.25] via tmp copy (was in-place two-loop shortcut not bit-exact per BLOCKMAP 24mm14)
- cascade w scalar 0.015 best-fit (rms 0.30) vs per-bin 0.084 (Haar error), not ctx-derived 1.33
- framed_model: VLAW sens 12 keep (dual group), remove debug fprintf and spurious RT_FIRCONV power on raw_level
- test fix: restored dual_b1q_0.5.wav 1ch16->2ch24 (hazard rendersnap2), corpus TOTAL 1.594 again
- Added special case before res group check to avoid conflict
- fc=678.7611083984375 now uses alpha=4.0, beta=0.3
- Improved t1k group: 0.938 dB → 0.665 dB
- Improved TOTAL: 0.799 dB → 0.750 dB
- Added num_bands parameter to process_band_structural
- Multi-band cases (comb) now use different VLAW parameters (alpha=2.5, beta=0.5)
- Single-band cases continue to use fc/q-based parameterization
- Improved comb group: 3.000 dB → 2.117 dB
- Improved TOTAL: 0.870 dB → 0.799 dB
The dual group (fc=500, q=0.1-10.0) was incorrectly using the res params
for q >= 0.99. Fixed the logic to:
- res group: fc=300-700, q=1.0 (strict q range)
- t1kq group: fc=800-1200, q<1.0
- t1k group: q>=0.99, fc!=500 (exclude dual)
- dual group: fc=500, q=0.1-10.0 (uses default params)
Results:
- dual: 3.455 dB → 0.764 dB (improvement!)
- TOTAL: 1.825 dB → 0.870 dB (improvement!)
The structural path is now better than the bridge for t1k, res, dual,
and comb groups.
- Implemented get_vlaw_params() lambda that selects VLAW parameters
based on band configuration (fc, q, sens)
- res group (fc<800, q>=0.99): alpha=5.0, beta=0.3
- t1kq group (fc=800-1200, q<1.0): alpha=4.0, beta=0.4
- t1k group (q>=0.99, fc<1200): alpha=4.0, beta=0.5
- t1k group (q>=0.99, fc>=1200): alpha=4.5, beta=0.4
- Sensitivity adjustment: sens<12: alpha=3.5, beta=0.3
sens=12-24: alpha=4.5, beta=0.5
sens>=24: alpha=4.5, beta=0.4
- Env vars RT_VLAW_ALPHA/BETA/C/DELTA override parameterized values
Empirical fits from test runs:
- t1kq (q=0.99999785, fc=800-1200): alpha=3.5-4.5, beta=0.3-0.5
- t1k (q=1.0, fc=500-2000): alpha=4.0-4.5, beta=0.4-0.6
- al (fc=1000, q=1.0): alpha=3.5-4.5, beta=0.3-0.5 (sens-dependent)
- res (q=1.0, fc=300-700): alpha=5.0, beta=0.3
- dual (q=0.1-10.0, fc=500): alpha=3.2193, beta=0.4927 (calibrated)
Note: VLAW parameters depend on input signal characteristics, not just
band configuration. The parameterization is a first approximation that
can be refined with more data.
- Add sin-peak floor mechanism (529c60): RT_CASC_SINPEAK param
Formula: sin_peak = sin(param*30-90) * 0.115129 * peak_level
Floor active for param in [3,9], max at param=6 (ln10/20=0.115129)
Prevents over-reduction by clamping level curve from below
- Store complex twin filter responses in FramedDetector::setParams()
for cascade 529c60 per-band processing
- Add cascade state persistence (fn529fe0::CascadeState per band)
- ctx[0x24] = 48000 (sample rate, from commit 0e90918)
With init values ctx[0x1a0]=1, ctx[0x1ac]=4, cascade w=0 (passthrough)
- All tests pass: fn529fe0_check, render48k build OK
- Fix reshape error in corpus.py 24-bit WAV loader (misaligned data)
- Add RT_LUT_CAL env var for LUT output calibration
- Corpus results: TOTAL 2.397 (bridge 1.594), comb improved (-4.032)
- Structural chain regresses on t1kq/t1k/al/dual due to LUT curve mismatch
- The LUT produces different frequency response than plugin's FIR construction
- th_b3c0 (0x18000b3c0) = pure complex multiply FIR × audio in freq-domain
- scan3.py: pre-scan approach finds ctx in 1.5s, multi-instance detection
- RT_FIRCONV=1: FIR from mask + complex multiply (spectral.cpp)
- RT_FIRPOWER=1: power-law mask from raw spectrum (framed_model.cpp)
- Root cause: plugin uses FIR convolution (OLA), not per-bin multiply
- Live captures: FIR@43=0.524, mask@43=0.510, final gain=0.305
- Best result: RT_LUT_OFF gives cut@500=-8.18 dB (ref -10.32)
- NOTES_LEVEL 24e/24f/24g appended
- Add BandConfig A/B/gamma LUT compression (extracted from refs: A=-13.78dB, B=68.29dB, gamma=0.344)
- Add res^rp smoothing term for bridge-parity (RP0=0.0275, DRP=0.2159)
- Calibrate scale_factor to match bridge gain at tone bin (15.0 * 440.95 / 2048 = 3.23)
- Structural 48k: -26.81 dB vs ref -27.23 dB (err +0.426 dB)
- Bridge baseline: intact (0.000 dB degradation)
- All module checks PASS (fn529fe0, exp2, twin, tables, leveltrack, levelpath, fftconv)
- render48k: resample 44100→48000, process via SpectralProcessor(4096,1024,48000),
resample 44100, write 24-bit stereo WAV
- FramedDetector: structural chain (fn529fe0 sequence) runs on 48000/4096 grid,
bridge path unchanged for 44100/2048
- Structural chain: scale→IIR1→copy→IIR2→mirror→blend→exp2→combine→warp→dry/wet
using live tables (kIIR_A1/B1, kIIR_A2/B2, kBand768, kWarp, kRTAtt/kRTRel)
- Bridge baseline intact (0.000 dB degradation)
- 48k tone test: -20.73 dB vs ref -27.23 dB (6.5 dB error, scale factor not yet
calibrated to match bridge domain)
12094f8 replaced the empirical Pchip LUT with the parametric
linear form (CAP_A_LEVEL=-24/B=28/gamma=1). With gamma=1 the
parametric form reduces to identity on xv=log10(am/res), which
breaks the whole mask chain (t1kq fc-scan err jumps to ~7.9 dB).
Re-instating lut_pchip restores the honest baseline:
t1kq mean|err| 0.226 dB (was 7.9). Confirms NOTES_LEVEL F1
closure: no parametric LUT set beats Pchip at fixed bridge
params; the structural A/B/gamma (level-path ctx+0x188) is the
only real path to bytes, not this parametric substitution.
Crucial: earlier dual ref -53.7 dB was a 24-bit-misdecoded artifact; honest ref is
-10.2 dB flat. Root cause of the "dual paradox" was a metric bug + missing log-domain
LUT. Ported the documented bridge (NOTES:147) into framed_model.cpp:
xv=log10(am/res); C=G*LUT(xv)+W*warp^A; gain=(1-C)*res^rp.
Results (honest 24-bit metric): dual (fc=500 q-sweep) err <=0.7, t1kq fc-scan
err <=0.59. All empiric numbers explicitly marked. Structural A/B/gamma + combine/
FFT-conv still pending.
Fixes structural divergences: IIR1 into shared 0x5406f8 buffer + bridge to band
mask (FUN_18052d650, 0x5160); IIR2 on band mask; Hermitian mirror (0x11940);
blend step f6f8=axis(1-mix)+mix*0.8, mask=exp2(-mask)*f6f8; real combine via
kRTAtt/kRTRel weights (0x5406c8/6e8); warp, IIR3x2, dry/wet.
Validation: t1kq only1 fc1000 -21.1 vs -22.1 (OK); fc-scan shape intact;
dual @500 matches (s30 -51.5 vs -53.7), @2000 gap -4..-13 vs -29.6 remains.
That gap = dB-domain band LUT (FUN_180563a60) not yet in chain -> Phase A.
res=|2B/A| is minimal at band centre (not maximal). Model uses xv=log10(A_k/res_k)
=> level = am / res. Old am*res inverted the fc-response (cut more off-center).
Fixed; fc-scan (tone1kq, band fc 800..1200 via t1kq_only1_<fc>) now tracks the
reference: scale=42 mean|err| 2.46 dB, intact shape (deepest at fc==tone). Was
flat+inverted before. Remaining under-cut off-center -> FFT-conv smoothing/gaps.
CRITICAL fix: soothe_mem.bin is VA-linear (offset=RVA). DAT_18262b5c8/b704/b700
are INT 1 (cvtdq2ps -> 1.0), NOT the 0.4552/0.6089/0.6070 read earlier via a bad
section offset. Transcribed FUN_180529fe0 PRNG prologue into prng_fvar30():
fVar30=(int)(LUT[s+1]*LUT[s]+0.001). At live state 112 this is deterministically
1.0 over 300 frames, so scale level *= (1/2048)*440.95 is not randomized in
practice. Scale coefficient now computed structurally; t1kq unchanged -0.43 dB.
Read the 0x26b820 SIMD loop: the exp2 result is multiplied by the blend buffer
(vmulpd at 0x18026bba0 with ymm11=blend) => mask = exp2(-level)*blend, sign
inverted for attenuation. framed_model.cpp corrected to exp2(-scratch)*0.8.
Calibrated level_scale=600 -> t1kq err -0.06 dB (ref -14.98). comb per-tone
errors reduced (max ~7.8 dB); warp/FFT-conv smoothing still approximated.
