Hello,

thanks for all your suggestions, TAPESTREA looks great, but I'm just
intrigued by the patch of carmen. After playing around a while with some
objects, the following idea came into my mind:

Create a [pdp_xv] canvas with 800x640 pixels.
Use the values of [fft~] as right input for [pdp_gain] and multiply it
with a white rectangle of 10x10 pixels and put it in the right place
(bottom to top in column)
Goto next column and repeat (50 ms), so the pic will look like:

^
|
|
|<--- 64 values from fft~
|
|
|
|
<------------------------------>
80 values for time (=4 s)

So, for now, I'd ask for some specific objects:
How can I split lists of audio data, as [snapshot~] only outputs the
first value?
The 4.fft.examples folders from CVS is empty, and the help for fft~ is
not really helpful. Is there any help for tweaking [fft~] available,
e.g. setting window size (in frequency domain)?
Is there a pdp/pidip object that can put a picture in a desired position
on a pdp window?

Thanks,
Thomas
