No, it makes perfect sense, and actually that's what people do in
their soft- or hardware. You often interpolate or filter or otherwise
map your input data to something better suited for your application.
However you also need to take care, because for example filtering with
a running sum or so adds a bit of latency.

If you use Pd, there's the "mapping" library which has lots of mapping
related objects, also some complex ones, for example to map the speed
of drawing circles on a gfx tablet to some value in your patch.
