[PD] Binary - integer conversion

[David Powers]

Hello,

Is it possible to somehow convert back and forth between integer and
binary in PD?

My idea, is to represent simple drum machine style rhythms as binary
numbers. [101010001011]. Ok, so if this were a float, it would be
trivial to do a common task and shift the rhythm left or right. I
think, that other rhythmic variations would also be quite fast to
implement using this system, you can do binary math instead of list
operations which should be much faster, I assume.
