hi Larry,
you could take a look at vectral~/Scope~ method used in max/msp or cyclone -- with zooming, smoothing, etc. There are some examples (pink~ and spectrum-pm cyclone's test patches).

I searched the FFT examples directory in the doc, and can't find exactly what I'm looking for, which a patch that will periodically do an fft and write the spectrum to an array. This would be just for rough monitoring purposes - it would be fine if the FFT were only computed once per second for example, with a fairly small frame size, and the result written to an array for graphical viewing. I imagine that this is a reasonable and common request, but I can't find anything in the examples that does this.
