aevawhat would you call the inverse of lerp i.e. alpha = (n - low) / (high - low) ?
oh wait shoot I went with "mix" instead of "lerp" for mollytime. derp. ok new question help me name the inverse of "mix" and no it is not xim
i envision the primary use of this function being you pass in a midi note number and the endpoints you care about and it gives you a scalar value you can bend other patch parameters with, and i haven't yet thought of any secondary uses

cassie@aeva both mix and this unmix function are special cases of remap with either the output or input range as the unit range. (I don’t know if generality is actually helpful to you though, just thinking about it.) unmix doesn’t sound bad…
@aeva kinda wanna say normalize or norm or somethiing...

@aeva psst, I would've said "derp" for the inverse of "lerp" :3

Celes 🌙@aeva turning a mixture into its components in chemistry is called "separation" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process
and there's a bunch of separation techniques you could maybe get inspiration from?

@aeva sep(arate)? 🤔
The Seven Voyages Of Steve@aeva it is famously impossible to directly unmix things, but you can distill or precipitate them.

Bruce Elrick@aeva glerp has a 'je ne sais pas' about it.
Press Rouch@aeva proportion?
Karsten Schmidt@aeva I call it `norm()`, because it essentially computes the normalized version of the value in the [lo,hi] interval. Like GLSL, I'm using `mix()` for the actual `lerp` op, and like Houdini VEX, I'm using `fit()` to map a value from [a,b] to [c,d] intervals:
@aeva I get confused every time any API calls this something other than inverse lerp (UE calls it GetRangePct which is awful)
