Those guys who show plots of potentiometer tapers, how do they compute that?
I manage to mess with alpha pots to provide me with the tapers I need without having to re-drill the chassis to 3/8", & I'm rather (*) wrote my own Python scripts to compute the tapers myself. I need the analytical expression for tapers to do that.
Any clue?

(*)Amongst other usefull ressources https://www.diystompboxes.com/analogalc ... h/emh.html provides a calculator to help with it, but I'm not able to see how the outcome exactly behaves with the closest standard resistance values - for example.
Analytic expressions for (messing with) potentiometer tapers anyone?

Have you run across this resource?

There is an explanation for the different pot tapers commercially available. It appears the Alpha pots use linear approximations to produce a "logarithmic" curve.

Yes, I've seen that too, great link, thanks!
I'm still missing the maths for the theoretical curves, though.
