dowanloaded aubio-0.3.2-0.pm.1.i586.rpm from RPM search.
it installed fine.

downloaded the attachment and then opened the help file(i didnt copy anything to the pd dir, i figured that that was what aubio was for.

and i got these messages:

error: canvas: no method for 'declare'
... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu.

so this is a great thread, thanks obi for the tutorial however when i look at bonk the right outlet gives me 3 nums. the first being instrument, 2nd amp. and 3rd ?. I can't find any documentation on that, Miller's help file or paper on bonk don't seem to cover it any one have an idea on the mysterious third parameter. Also what do you want to consider when setting the "mask" parameters as it seems it would be different for samples with rides versus drum machine samples. Do you want to relate it to the tempo? sample? or both? Anyways these are some rambling questions I have in regards to making a recycle type patch.

attached is the "audio analysis in pd" paper about pd and fiddle

Think mask works like a debounce, so if two very similar things happen together they get counted as one. I could be very wrong about this though.
