I may be wrong, but might some of the waveshaping tutorials help with this? Is compressions essentially a form of waveshaping with an attack and decay envelope? ~Kyle On Nov 27, 2007 6:24 PM, Roman Haefeli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i once made a compressor with (almost) plain pd (i think, it u

i once made a compressor with (almost) plain pd (i think, it uses a few objectclasses from zexy). it is part of dynlib for netpd and is called [rcomp~]. http://www.netpd.org/dynlib roman On Tue, 2007-11-27 at 16:08 -0800, Vreahli the Audio Bandit wrote: > Heya - I'm just curious - is it even

Heya - I'm just curious - is it even possible to build a compressor in PD without coding it in C? The only way I can think of getting the overall loudness of a signal is by checking audio rate stuff - which won't work with control rate values. Just a curiosity. :) __
