Candid question: what's the advantage of that over the builtin [mtof] class?...
Mea culpa, I have not used expr much, so when I copied your example below into Pd I got "no such var 'fl'" when using ftom
That's probably because your font doesn't make a difference between the digit one and the lowercase L. That or you didn't see it.
(I expected this was what you wanted as the idea was going from a frequency to a number representation of the note).
Yes, my mistake, should've been [ftom].
Using motf I get a syntax error.
I hope so, because the other one is actually called [mtof]... it's not completely spelt backwards... it's not as in Bash or Algol.
Performance-wise I'm not very happy with the Python implementation as I find it too slow for real-time use
depends on how many times you need to use it per second. I don't see why Python would not be fast enough unless you process literally thousands of notes per second... (no?) but then I haven't tried pyext.
