hi all,
ROry's page is unavailable from my site :(maybe my page will be available from his?). Anyway, since I have done basic testing, I thought I would put my comb stuff, and also rand~ (useful in chorusing, and for other purposes too) at suita.chopin.edu.pl/~czaja/miXed/externs/cyclone.html
The advantages over patching the filters with vd~ are: delay time can be less than a blocksize; msp compatibility; slightly faster processing.
The two main disadvantages are: ``cheezy linear interpolation'' (these words are from cycling's help patch) instead of 4-point interpolation used in vd~; using externs instead of builtins.
The filters were coded from scratch, while rand~' is just a compilation of Miller's phasor~ and noise~ code. I have not used
LFO_noise~' from iemlib, for the same reason I have not
used comb~ from pd-lib: it cannot be modulated.
Speaking of iemlib: there is also speedlim' in it, which works exactly like the one in max. Thus, with
match' being part of
pd-lib, two of Olaf's maxlib classes had been already available.
I think this is yet another proof there is a need to somehow
revive pd-lib project.
For my part, collecting and testing max/msp compatibility stuff is certainly on a todo list. But only in the long run -- now I would rather spend my spare time on the all too long delayed release of the vexing library.
