Well, I'm aware pd's gui is tcl, but actually, because it's fairly  
cross-platform, it is still a good candidate platform for prototype  
implementations of DSP tasks that need to be used by others.

I've converted that code to C++ using FMOD, but it's actually giving  
me problems (which is why I wanted to see if maybe I could do it in  
PD instead, that perhaps there were existing methods/abstractions  
implemented already).

Indeed, I'm hoping to implement a quick and dirty bpm detect, then  
play more with amplitude.

Thanks again for your advice.
