Subject: [PD] Re: tabreceive and block

...

Hello

I'm looking for documentation on all the ins and outs of the block object and the tabreceive object. Any help? The help files weren't able to give me a good start for using the two together. Does any one know where I can find detailed documantation about those two objects?

thanks

block~ sets the number of samples in each processing cycle (which defaults to 64). So each signal is divided up into blocks of 64 samples as it would be too slow to do it sample by sample. You could for example override it to have 1-sample blocks with [block~ 1] though: this can be useful in feedback. tabreceive~ fills each of these blocks with the first values of a named table (normally the first 64) over and over. So for example if you had a 64-sample table with values 0,1,2...63 then tabreceive~ using that table would give a signal 0,1,2...63,0,1,2...63,0,1,2...63 etc. For examples look at the fft help patches. Hope that makes sense?

This all makes perfect sense. I'll have a look at the FFT help files for info on the block~. Isn't there just a bit of documentation somewhere that has all the different commands/arguments you can send the block~ object or is it just the one blocksize argument? As someone fairly new to the program, I think it would be helpful to have a list of all objects and all the different arguments or commands. Is there already something like this out there?
