hi martin, thanks for taking the time to reply.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>i can set pd to whatever samplerate i want in media-&gt;audio settings.  i just checked again going through a whole bunch of values between 22050 and 44100 and they all work.<br>
<br>my problem is that the samplerate is global, and i need it only to be local.  i think the &#39;solution&#39; i suggested in my 2nd post is going to be the way to do it, but i just don&#39;t know how to do that.<br><br>

[/~ 2048]<br></blockquote><div><br>thanks.  that&#39;s what i had done originally, but i couldn&#39;t hear any effect.  i guess if i really want 12-bit sound in pd, i&#39;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!  <br>
