Hi,

I have part of the SMS process implemented, but not as a single external
but as a collection of externals for generation of windows, peak  
detection, interpolation, FFT resynthesis. These are glued together  
with standard
pd objects.
I sort of got stuck trying to figure out how to use the extracted data in
a meaningful way inside pd.

So, after all,it might be a better approach to do it as a single external and
program your transformations in C/C++. So maybe the best bet would be  
to have a
base SMS analysis/synthesis engine and do an external for each effect that
you want to implement with it.
