[PD-dev] plans for next Pd release

[Matt Barber]

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the reply. sinesum is better but not perfect – the issue is that
the cos() function is not the same on all four parts of the waveform, and
those imperfections can cause fm to drift. You can build a symmetric table
easily enough but since osc~ and cos~ are so important, they should be
fixed. I'll submit a demo patch when I get home.
