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.
