[PD] non-interpolating [vd~]

[Kyle Klipowicz]

Oh man, thanks for the breakdown!  I was trying to figure out how it
was working while futzing about with Paris' great experimental patches
a few weeks back.  Impressed a bunch of friends, now I'm going to try
doing some "VJ-ing" for a show coming up.

Where can I find out more about this kind of stuff?  I'd love to be
able to use live audio and project the FFT or even direct waveform
into the Gem window.  Anybody done this yet?
