hi martin, thanks for taking the time to reply.
i can set pd to whatever samplerate i want in media->audio settings. i just checked again going through a whole bunch of values between 22050 and 44100 and they all work.
Yes you're right. I should have checked first ;) Maybe writing into a table at 44100 and using [tabread4~] with a signal that is quantized to the ratio of sample rates would work?
my problem is that the samplerate is global, and i need it only to be local. i think the 'solution' i suggested in my 2nd post is going to be the way to do it, but i just don't know how to do that.
[*~ 2048] | [expr~ $v1%2048] | [/~ 2048]thanks. that's what i had done originally, but i couldn't hear any effect. i guess if i really want 12-bit sound in pd, i'd have to use that construct after each and every calculation in the signal chain. seems a fair bit of overkill just to make the sound WORSE though!
Well 12-bit sound is pretty good, as good as audio cassette with no dolby. You should try replacing 2048 with 128 or less to hear true lo-fi.
