f-tables are just "table" or "array" objects in Pd. You get a whole
bunch of tabwrite, tabread and so on opcodes in Pd, as well.

The only gen-routine, that is built into Pd is called "(co)sinesum". See
the example in doc/2.control.examples/15.array.pd

For more of the classic Gen-functions you need to look into external
collections. PeRColate has several of them, and I think, vasp as well.

It also might be a good exercise to try to recreate them as pure
abstractions. ;)

ciao
