Nice! That is exactly the answer I was looking for! Thank you!

I will poke around in the help files to see if I can find the  
incorrectly-named help for this object, to see what the related  
objects are.

Yes, but conceptually convolution is converting time domain sounds  
into frequency domain, storing the values in a sample block, and  
multiplying the two blocks together (and normalizing of course). So if  
one block has no sound at 300Hz and the other block does, the  
resulting block does NOT have sound at 300Hz, right?
So if your block size was four and you had one FFT block that was:
0,1,0,1
And another that was:
0,0,0,1
The convolved "real" sound block (before going to ifft~) would be
0,0,0,1
Right?

Thanks for the object-pointer and the brain-fix!
