So if I write a 32-bit floating point sound file to an array in PD the visualisation is -1 to +1, but the data is still stored internally as 32-bit?

I apologise if this has come up before.
With PD, numbers are represented internally as 32-bit floats, but audio processing is done using values normalised to the range -1 < x < 1. So
who told you that ? i am often working internally with audio signals that range between -12.5 and 1000.0.
it is just the oustide world that doesn't know what to do with floating-point samples (at least my ADC/DACs are restricted to some fixedpoint format)
mfg..asdr IOhannes
doesn't this effectively restrict PD's audio dynamic range to 24-bit?
