[PD] convolution code error

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Scott,
i'm not quite sure what the problem is, but a few remarks on these things:

1) the block size (= the length of the inupt and output vectors) can be
different from 64...according to the setting of a block~ object in the
patcher
2) the input and output arrays can point to the same locations.. that means
that once you have filled the output array, the input data is lost. I think,
there is a switch to have separate arrays, though... must be somewhere with
class setup.
3) if you want to grab a fixed amount of 256 samples for some fft stuff you
will have to reserve some extra space for fft input and transformed data.

You start with empty fft in and transformed data. In every dsp perform
function you copy the signal input to the fft in buffer. The transformed
data is still zero, hence the signal output will be zero.
At some time the fft in buffer is filled. You can then do the transformation
and start copying this output data into the signal output. Your fft input is
again empty, so you start filling it again....
Once understood, it isn't difficult.

hope that helps,
greetings, Thomas
