[PD] fftw

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Michael,
have you had a look at the freqtweak application recently announced on the
LAD list?
It has some features you might be interested in.
Apart from that i share your opinion about FFTW, however, it's not quite
lightweight....
The algorithm for such a plugin is not hard to devise... you have to
decompose the input signal
stream into overlapped grains (or "windows"), do your spectral
transformation, and then recompose
the grains into a continuous stream for output. Be aware of the fact that
the due to the granular nature
of such an algorithm, the larger the spectral resolution (fft size) is, the
larger is the inherent delay of your effect!
Scoot has been working on such things as well, i guess.

best greetings,
Thomas
