[PD] [PD-announce] pd 0.47-0 test 1 released

[Matt Barber]

It's imperfections in the [fft~] objects which come from float precision
and error propagation. There are so many multiplications and additions in
the fft butterflies that it's almost impossible not to get any junk, even
with very precise inputs and twiddle factors. Also, each bin leaks a little
error into each other bin because of the way the fft is calculated. You'll
notice that if you increase the block size, the junk is a little more
significant.

Do a "find text" for "error per bin" here, and then read the few posts
following:
