Hi,
I can't seem to understand what the second argument of [env~] is for. The first argument is the window lenght for RMS analysis, but the second argument is supposed to set "period in samples per analysis (window/2 default)". It seems I am getting two analysis values per window size with the defaults of [env~ 1024 512]
this means that you will get a new value every 512 samples (aka 8 blocks, or 11.6ms@44.1kHz). the value you get will take the last 1024 samples into account to calculate the RMS.
How would that be different from [env~ 512 512]

so you get the same number of values, but they use different time-frames for doing the averaging.
Wow, crazy! Thanks for this explanation! Would be interesting to know for what different applications this (eg a long window with short period) can be useful. Anyway, it's very good to know.
cheerz, P
