i am quite new to PD...this is my first post to the pd-list.

question for anyone who knows CSound as well as PD:

i am wondering if someone could explain the equivalent in PD to the f-tables and GEN subroutines in CSound. from what i understand, an f-table is an array of floating point values generated by the various GEN routines and then subsequently accessed by

a

...

variety of opcodes in the .orc file.

f-tables are just "table" or "array" objects in Pd. You get a whole bunch of tabwrite, tabread and so on opcodes in Pd, as well.

The only gen-routine, that is built into Pd is called "(co)sinesum". See the example in doc/2.control.examples/15.array.pd

For more of the classic Gen-functions you need to look into external collections. PeRColate has several of them, and I think, vasp as well.

It also might be a good exercise to try to recreate them as pure abstractions. ;)

hi,

there is an old vex external, too. This one computes any gen of the saol set: harm, harm_phase, periodic, buzz, step, lineseg, expseg, spline, cubicseg, sample, empty, data, polynomial, concat, random, window. It has options for guard points to be observed, operations to be restricted to an array's subrange, resizing, normalizing, etc.

ok

thank you very much for your answers. this should help me alot. hope i can figure it all out:)

cheers...ssC
