I want to be able to analize the data that comes out of rfft~ as individual bins in order from 0 to n-1 where n = samples divided by 2.

rfft~ output's the real part of the fft to the first outlet and the imaginary part to the second outlet ... each bin represents the frequency given by (samplerate / windowsize) * n

I assume that this is what rfft~ emits every cycle, so if I were to make an object dsp_analize_tilde, this object would get in its signal port a pointer to an array of information?

both the real an the imaginary output are the same type as the common signal blocks are...

Is there a simple peice of code that I could use either as a template, or as something to reverse engineer? I am intermediate with C++, but the C code I've seen (Ive written a simple external based on info from the iem.at tutorial) isint always entirely clear.

if you are into c++, i'd suggest that you have a look at thomas grill's flext ... it's very easy to use and it's much more elegant to use than pd's internal api (i hope all the c programmers on this list forgive me)...

cheers...
