[PD] [PD-announce] soundhack pd & max externals

[Pierre Massat]

Hi,
I just wanted to give some feedback on the soundhack externals.
I think they're amazing. There's a couple of them that i'll use extensively
in the future for sure. So thanks again for making these available.
I'd like to suggest something if you plan on developping these pd externals
further (you said it's a beta release). One very cool thing about some pd
object is there ability to be controlled by audio signals in a smooth and
inaudible way (like [vcf~]'s center frequency). I have no idea how much work
would be needed to do this, but it would be really nice to make some inputs
controllable by audio signals. I'm thinking about the fold parameter in the
+decimate~ object for instance, which would be awesome if it could be
controlled by an oscillator.
