Ah, I see what you mean.

Proximity currently is *very* slow for isosurfaces. I might be able to 
make a modification which allows separate proximity functions for 
specific shapes, though, so simple shapes like box, cone, sphere, etc. 
could be much faster. CSG's, text objects, and meshes will still use the 
current method though, at least at first.

How does a waveform modifier (like sine_wave, triangle_wave, etc.) which 
allows you to specify the mapping with a spline sound?
