Hi list! Maybe this is a stupid question: How do i easily calculate 1/x or -x, of course with a hot inlet for x? I can't figure out which object to use efficiently (except pow(x,-1) or so) without converting into signals.
Maybe appropriate objects (inv and neg) should be built into pd.
greetings! Thomas
I fear everyone might respond to this, but here is my solution anyhow:
you use a trigger, first to send x into the right argument of a "/" object, and then bang a "1" message object, which is connected to the hot (left) inlet of the "/" object.
here it is as a patch:
#N canvas 510 175 450 300 10; #X floatatom 24 23 4 0 0; #X obj 24 55 t b f; #X msg 24 87 1; #X obj 36 119 /; #X floatatom 36 155 4 0 0; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #X connect 1 0 2 0; #X connect 1 1 3 1; #X connect 2 0 3 0; #X connect 3 0 4 0;
it's possible that a "f 1" object would be more efficient than a "1" message object, but i'm not sure about the internals. miller?
