hi again
i made a patch, that uses several instances of an abstraction based on the partconv~ external in order to do binaural spatialization of sounds using a set of hrtf tables. the hrtf files are all loaded on loadbang into tables, so that they can be accessed quickly. it is part of the patch, that a 'set <tablename>' message to all [partconv~]s is sent quite often, which leads to dropouts on the box, where the installation is meant to run (for some reason not on my personal laptop). i also noticed a difference in performance between an old version of partconv~ (0.1) and the current svn version, whereas the latter is more likely to cause dropout at high 'set' message rates.
there are some things, that i don't know, which might affect performance. for instance, what is the recommended blocksize of the subpatch, that contains an object [partconv~]? is the optimal blocksize dependent on the size of the impulse response? is using [partconv~] generally not the best option to implement hrtf? if so, what are better ways?
thanks in advance for any help.
