I could also check diagrams and source codes, as my final intent is to include a new external in my library, be it an abstraction or not. If there's something important about compression design that you can't efficiently perform as an abstraction, then I guess the compiled external is the way to go. But one way or another, it really helps me out if I can first figure out how to implement this thing as a patch.

cheers

From what I understand, Alexandre is looking for
an implementation that is purely signal based (or in other words:
emulates more closely a analog circuit compressor).

Or am I missing something completely?

yup. Not that I'm looking for a way to do it in vanilla, I guess I didn't express myself well. I can even actually think of ways to do it now, but I'm really happy with externals and I'm just really concerned on how is the best and more sophisticated way to implement compressors in Pd. Apparently, my approach is the same as the other examples provided here.

thanks
