oh, right! after some time not playing with pd I forgot about this and 
thought a phasor as a nornmal oscillator (in the range -1...1)

uhm...
actually, *not* using the hanning window, makes the processed sound suck 
even more.
so what's the best solution?

there is a better window function? perhaps the gaussian function?
isn't the window function also related on how much samples overlap 
between a block and the next one?
shouldn't fft~ be aware of this?
