That looks really good on many levels. :) I like the layout, I hadn't thought of standard deviation, that makes sense as long as we can specify "exact" as a possibility. My guess is that some of this stuff should produce the same bit sequence every time, but I could be wrong there.
If you specify tolerance zero, that's exact. But we found that tolerance is needed for different reasons:
- floats are stored as text by Pd, and differences between computed
and stored values occur because of the truncated stored floats
Wouldn't it make more sense to load the reference table from some binary format (like WAV file) instead of some textual (lossy) representation in order not to lose any precision?
Both, [writesf~] and [soundfiler], support WAV files with 32-float bit resolution (according to their help patches).
