Hi Cyrille,

Thanks for the reply - very interesting!

Are you saying that if one replaced the negative value with the previous
value, the phasors _would_ be phase synced? It would certainly be
possible to do this if I implemented it as an external.

In the short term, this 'low frequency master phasor' solution is the
one I will go for, but it would be nice to make a generic
phase-synchronous phasor rate scalor at some point. Maybe it isn't
possible, but I'm sure it is what Max/MSP's rate does.
