But you need to use in the makefilename

makefilename %s

Right?

The %g did not work for me, but %s did.

Sorry to butt in.

This is a nice way to simply do it. Is there a way as simple to do the reverse? Where the number that becomes a symbol can become a float?

I am starting to dabble in using sigmund~ but it seems to take up a good bit of the CPU. Also, the numbers move so fast I am not sure the best way to "capture" the data generated. I am using average, but that does not seem to capture the data well.

I am trying to use sigmund well, but am struggling.

@whale-av @bocanegra @ingox
I am so appreciative of your responses. Each one of your responses has taught me so much. whale-av gave a really nice implementation and then ingox made it so simple. Wow.

I really like bocanegra's response, though the ifft implementation is above my understanding right now.

Thank you all for your input. I am indebted.

@whale-av I think that last patch you did could be a nice way of shifting wave forms. I just, after 6+ years of using puredata "discovered" sinesum. I was surprised that it did not have a simple way of manipulating phases and could look into using it in the future.

I have been scouring the forum. Just to confirm: there is no easy way to do a phase shift with sinesum. Right. One could make a patch that could do a phase shift of a certain partials and then combine the two or three or more arrays, though.

Correct?

Good points

Thank you all for the thoughts!

@ddw_music Yeah I got that much. I am just commenting.

@bocanegra Thank you for the link. It does seem to me to be an early version of "granular synthesis."
