[PD] PD sound quality question

[Hector Centeno]

Hello,

I'm in the process of learning more about PD so I've been checking
some of the patches that are part of Johannes Kreidler's excellent
tutorial Programming Electronic Music in Pd (
http://www.pd-tutorial.com/ ). Today I was playing a bit with the
sampler-big.pd which is a sound sampler with adjustable speed and
start/end points. I noticed that as I made playback speed slower I
started to hear quite noticeable aliasing. The patch uses [tabread4~]
for reading the sound array. So my questions are: is this aliasing a
particular problem of my system or is this an expected result? Is
there anyway of avoiding it? I could post the patch here if needed.


Cheers,

Hector
