been going through the help files again for a project, and noticed there are heaps of them that use table lookups for making midi notes and dbtorms conversions.
any reason why these can't just be simplified by using [mtof~] and [dbtorms] ?
The table method is faster but it probably doesn't matter on modern hardware... although I've never measured it :)

Please don't just weed them all out.
In the past, I have found tables like [dbtorms] very instructive, to show students "the old way we used to do things with lookup tables", or as a visual aid to explaining what a black-box object really does.
It would be nice to move them;
Maybe into into a help file that is primarily about tables.
Or each could go wuth its respective transfer function object.
Please keep a copy of them somewhere within the help corpus.
cheers, Andy
