nice way to look at it. I used the formulation y[n] = x[n]+ a[n] * 
y[n-1] in the help files and some semi-knowledge about filters...

yeah, but this is often the case when messing things up in pd. I tried 
rpole~ 1 with sinewaves first which worked as integrator, but already 
had different results for the output of rpole~ if the wave started at 0 
or pi/2 (which is logic, but I didn't think about it first...)

I thought about lop~ doing similar things too, but didn't know what lop~ 
is doing and I'm sure I wouldn't have figured it out in any reasonable 
time this morning. thanks!

cheers
