Currently, no. But once we have the ability of animtypes for individual eq spec bands then yes. We're limited to straight lines at the moment.

Technically you could cheat and use animations for frequency volumes. It's not the exact effect, and you'd have to duplicate a lot, but it would work.

That's exactly what I said, but we can't yet because there's no animtype for individual bands, only the old 3-band.

Precisely what I meant. Hence, duplicate really hard, use the volume indicators, etc etc.

Like I said, you can cheat, but it's not going to look as good as a full range of bands.

The bands are just sliders, so you could do this easily, however there would be a lot of overlapping due to the curves. Not sure how cpu intensive that would be with the overlapping/redrawing?

here's a quick mockup of curved eq bands used a bitmap circle for quickness and it doesn't have all 28 bands but you get the idea.
cpu usage is minimal but the redraw isn't that great, could possibly use the fade between or other keywords to blend it a little better, however it would lose the speed and possibly create more cpu usage/flicker?

here's a fairly simple approach: has some quirks and definite drawbacks, but works reasonably well for what it looks like you're trying to accomplish.
