Howdy, a quick update I needed to make in the middle of a
          course and to settle the ground for a project I'm unveiling
          this week in a symposium (the first draft of my modular
          abstractions). 
        
        
        One new thing I have is a great gift from Tim Schoen, he
          just gave me this incredible object named [circuit~] that
          emulates analog circuitry. I'm blown away and have no idea how
          it works, it's just pure magic as I see it. As an atheist, I
          can't explain it... 
        
        
        Tim also helped in a compild version of [conv~]. I had this
          very expensive abstraction and this is now a much more
          simplified version of the great william brent's [convolve~]
          object. This was one of the things on my list for a final
          release, so we're getting closer. By the way, I think I've
          said it before, I'm planning a final release next year when
          Tim's Plugdata reaches version 1.0 (phew, finally).
        
        
        I'm still extendind the MC awareness of objects in ELSE.
          The [sine~] , [imp~]  and [adsr~] objects are now MC aware!
          The [adsr~] and [envgen~] also got a new audio inlet for
          retriggering with impulses. Including new objects, ELSE now
          has 70 signal objects that can deal with multichannels. 
        
        
        A family of new objects I'm really proud of is [pm6~],
          [pm4~] and [pm2~]. These are 6, 4 and 2 operators synths with
          a modulation matrix for phase modulation. So yeah, think of
          DX7 and stuff. Or Native Instruments' FM8, actually. This is
          beautifual, and MC aware! Being MC aware makes it polyphonic
          with [voices~], without the need of [clone]. Did I mention I'm
          working on modular abstractions? Yup, one based on [pm6~] is
          done, and looks great with all the GUI there for you to set
          values in the modulation matrix, plus panning, detuning,
          ratio. Really damn proud of this one. 
        
        
        A new [mono~] object offers monophonic voice management
          with signal rate portamento output. A [
mpe.in] object is my first take
          on managing MIDI Polyphonic Expression. I guess that's the
          highlights and it for now. 
 
        
        
        Current object count is: 518 (277 signal objects and 241
          control objects)! 299 coded objects (192 signal objects / 107
          control objects) 219 abstractions (85 signal objects / 134
          control objects) Not much new in the tutorial, just some
          updates and revisions to add the new objects and breaking
          changes in ELSE. Total number of examples is now 508!
        
        
        
        
        
        Get it from there or deken (no raspberry pi yet).  Expect
          this one soon in a next PlugData release.
        
        
        cheers
