their manual is wrong! cite: pow raises the base value (set in the right inlet) to the power of the exponent (set in the left inlet). Input: float or int In left inlet: Sets the exponent. In right inlet: Sets the base value. Arguments: float or int, Optional. Sets the base value. The default value is 0. Output: float The base value (from the right inlet) raised to the exponent (from the left inlet). and then they have an example as it really works [2( [-0.5( | / [pow] | [0.707107\ but -0.5**2 is actually 0.25. marius. _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
